NWC ranked among nation's best values by Money Magazine

Northwestern College is again ranked among the nation’s top buys by Money Magazine. Northwestern is one of 705 colleges and universities selected for inclusion in Money’s rankings of best-value colleges.

The institutions were ranked on 24 factors in the areas of educational quality, affordability and alumni success. Graduation rates, student-to-faculty ratio, the net price of a degree, and student debt were among the factors examined.

The methodology incorporated data from the U.S. Department of Education, Peterson’s College Guide, PayScale.com and Money/College Measures calculations.

“Our Money ranking is another indication of the strong value we offer students,” says Mark Bloemendaal, Northwestern’s dean of enrollment and marketing. “The data quantify that Northwestern is a great investment that leads to alumni success.”

The Money ranking is the latest in a series of recognitions Northwestern has received for academic quality and value, including high ratings by U.S. News & World Report, Forbes.com, Washington Monthly, Princeton Review, GreatValueColleges.net, College Factual and Christian Universities Online.
