ALBANY, N.Y. (July 17, 2017) — The University at Albany made the top-100 list in Money magazine’s latest edition of “Best Colleges for Your Money,” released last week.
UAlbany was ranked 79th on Money’s list of 711 schools that best combine educational quality, affordability and alumni success, and was among the top 10 large public universities in the Northeast on the list.
Money rated 2,400 schools on 27 criteria, including graduation rate, teacher quality, economic mobility, the net price of a degree and the earnings of graduates five years out. Economic mobility looks at the percentage of low-income students who move into the upper-middle class.
