Kiplinger Places UCSB Among Top 'Best Value Colleges' for 2016
Kiplinger Personal Finance rated eight UC campuses as best values for public universities in its 2016 college rankings. Two UC undergraduate campuses — Berkeley at fourth and UCLA at sixth — made the top 10 and six others were in the top 100 of Kiplinger’s best college values.
Kiplinger developed its rankings by assessing a variety of quality and cost measures, including admission and retention rates, student–faculty ratio and four-year graduation rate, data on tuition, financial aid and tuition-related debt when students graduate to form its best value rankings.
"All of the schools in our rankings offer generous need-based financial aid—often reducing the average price to about half of the published sticker price. Many also offer non-need-based aid (sometimes called merit aid), further reducing costs for students with top marks and other accomplishments," Kiplinger's said in a release on their findings.
