Bradley University recently earned a spot on Kiplinger’s
Personal Finance magazine’s list of best value private university
for 2017 for the eighth consecutive year
The Peoria, Illinois school is ranked No. 81 in this year’s
edition.
“This ranking recognizes the great value and the great
educational experience Bradley provides,” Bradley University
Provost Dr. Walter Zakahi said in a news release. “It demonstrates
that a Bradley education is both high quality and affordable. We are
pleased to be recognized as one of the best universities in the
nation.”
The publication began its value ranking in 1998 and offers
rankings for public schools, private universities and private liberal
arts colleges, as well as one list that pits institutions from all
colleges against each other. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance weighs
considerations like retention rate, class size, test scores, tuition,
fees, room and boar and financial aid to determine each school’s
score.
“There’s no way around it: College is expensive, and it’s
going to stay that way for a long time,” Kiplinger’s Personal
Finance Magazine Editor Janet Bodnar said in a news release. “So,
with our rankings – which weigh affordability alongside academic
quality – our goal is to help students and their parents understand
what’s really worth the price. While some may have ranked higher
than others, all 300 schools on the list are of extraordinary value,
being chosen out of a universe of 1,200.”
