(Mahwah) – Ramapo College of New Jersey was listed in the February 2006 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine as among the 100 Best Values in Public Colleges.”  The headline continues, Yes, you can still get a first-class education at a reasonable price.”

In explanatory notes on how the 100 were chosen, Kimberly Lankford, who authored the article wrote, Schools that top Kiplinger’s list are noteworthy for the combination of top-flight academics and affordable costs.”  Kiplinger’s looked at more than 500 public four-year colleges and universities, using measures including the percentage of freshmen scoring 600 or higher on the verbal and math components of the SAT, student/faculty ratio and graduation rates.  In addition, schools were ranked based on cost and financial aid, the average cost for a student with need after subtracting grants, the average cost for a student without need after subtracting non-need based grants, the average percentage of need met by aid and the average debt a student accumulates before graduation.

This is external confirmation of what Ramapo faculty, staff and students have known for a long time:  Ramapo belongs among the state, region and country’s most respected public colleges,” said Peter Goetz, vice provost for enrollment management.
