UMBC is proud to be included in Kiplinger’s “Best Values in Public Colleges 2009-10,” a ranking based on academic quality and affordable education. More than 500 public, four-year colleges and universities were evaluated for the list.
The top 100 schools included deliver strong academics at reasonable prices and offer the same or more financial aid as in previous years. Of the colleges listed, 39 charge about the same or less than the average annual in-state sticker price ($15,213) for four-year public institutions, and many come in well below that amount.
UMBC is ranked among schools such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; the University of Virginia; and University of Maryland, College Park.
UMBC strives to combine a deep commitment to undergraduate education at an affordable cost and provides students with unique learning communities and resources. The university is proud of this ranking, along with its recognition of being #1 in up-and-coming national universities in U.S. News & World Report America’s Best Colleges Guide in 2009.
