Millersville Rankings

Millersville University was recently named as one of America’s top 100 Best Value Colleges by Educate to Career.

Millersville University was recently named as one of America’s top 100 Best Value Colleges by Educate to Career, coming in at #78. In addition, Millersville was included in Money magazine’s list of top colleges.

The index used by Educate to Career measures the benefit students at a college derive in the professional world, in relation to the cost of attendance. According to the California-based nonprofit’s website, “the rankings results are determined by which schools did the best job of improving the earnings and attainment of quality employment of their students.”

Of the more than 1,200 four-year colleges that Educate to Career ranked nationwide, Millersville’s position places them in the top seven percent.

“I’m not surprised,” said Melissa Wardwell, director of Experiential Learning & Career Management at Millersville. “Education is a significant financial investment. Millersville provides a high-quality, academic education and the opportunity to apply it in real-world settings, allowing our students to reap large-scale benefits, both professionally and financially.”

Educate to Career’s complete list of college rankings can be found at its website.

Meanwhile, Money magazine’s “Best Colleges” list was recently released online, and Millersville University is included on the list.

The magazine first looked at the nation’s roughly 1,500 four-year colleges to see which ones offer the most bang for your tuition buck. Money screened out those with a below-average graduation rate and then ranked the 665 that remained on 17 factors in three categories: educational quality, affordability and alumni earnings provided by PayScale.com. Also included was a “value added” grade that rated each college in light of the economic and academic profile of its student body and the mix of majors at that school.

Millersville ranked 389 on the list.
