The College of the Holy Cross moves up five spots to No. 8 among Best Values in Private Liberal Arts Colleges that combine “excellent academics while keeping costs to a minimum,” according to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.
The story appears in the December issue of Kiplinger’s, on newsstands Nov. 10; the list is available online now.
The magazine lists 50 private liberal arts colleges and 50 private universities. Selected from a pool of more than 600 private institutions provided by Peterson’s, schools in the Kiplinger 100 were ranked according to academic quality and affordability — with quality accounting for two-thirds of the total.
“This year’s top 100 private schools met the challenges of a slumping economy with brio,” says Janet Bodnar, editor of Kiplinger’s. “With so many private institutions offering generous financial aid packages, families are finding that private college is still affordable. In fact, the average tuition price can be as little as half or less of the sticker price-making them very competitive with public universities.”
Holy Cross remains committed to meeting full demonstrated financial need of accepted students.
