USC, Clemson, College of Charleston colleges make Kiplinger’s list
LEMSON – The University of South Carolina, Clemson University and the College of Charleston have made the Kiplinger’s Personal Finance list of the 100 Best Values in Public Colleges for 2010.
USC ranked 32nd, Clemson ranked 33rd and the College of Charleston was 56th on Kiplinger’s list of schools exemplifying academic excellence while keeping in-state and out-of-state costs to a minimum.
“A high-quality education at an affordable price is increasingly important for college students and their families, and at the University of South Carolina, we have worked to hold the line on costs without sacrificing excellence and the student experience,” said Scott Verzyl, USC’s associate vice president for enrollment management.
The ranking “is good news particularly in light of these economically challenging times that are confronting all of higher education,” Verzyl said.
Value, quality and return on investment are critical considerations for students seeking higher education in today’s economic environment, Clemson spokeswoman Robin Denny said.
“The Kiplinger ranking recognizes the dedication of Clemson’s faculty and staff who work diligently daily to give students a quality education and valuable experience that result in significant returns on investment after graduation,” Denny said.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill topped the Kiplinger list of four-year public colleges and universities in the story in Kiplinger’s February 2010 issue on newsstands today and online at www.kiplinger.com/reports/best-college-values.
Schools were ranked according to academic quality including admission and retention rates, student-faculty ratios and four- and six-year graduation rates, as well as cost and financial aid.
