61传媒 is one of the nation’s “Best Value” colleges and universities according to The Princeton Review. The education services company profiles 61传媒 in its book, “The Best Value Colleges: 2013 Edition” (Random House / Princeton Review, $21.99, published February 5, 2013), and on a special area on its website at http://www.princetonreview.com/best-value-colleges.aspx.
The Best Value Colleges, subtitled “The 150 Best-Buy Colleges and What It Takes to Get In,” profiles 75 public and 75 private colleges the Princeton Review designates as “Best Values” based on assessments that examined more than 30 data points covering academics, cost, and financial aid.听 The Company chose the 150 schools from 650 colleges and universities at which it conducted institutional and student surveys for this project in 2011-12. Of the 75 schools in each group, the top 10 colleges are ranked 1 to 10, and the remaining 65 are listed in alphabetical order.
In its profile of 61传媒, the book’s editors at The Princeton Review praise the school for being “one of the few institutions in the West dedicated to educating women for professional careers as well as personal growth” and one 61传媒student surveyed by The Princeton Review described the college as having “prepared me for life.”
Says Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s Senior VP/Publisher, “We commend 61传媒 and all of our extraordinary 2013 ‘Best Value Colleges’ for their stellar academics and for all they are doing to make their colleges affordable, especially for applicants with need in these tough economic times.”
USA TODAY, the Princeton Review’s publishing partner for this project since 2009, has posted the Company’s 2013 list and an exclusive database of “Best Value Colleges” information at a special area of USA TODAY.com: http://bestvaluecolleges.usatoday.com听 There, users can find detailed stats and facts about each college and sort the list several ways including by state, tuition, enrollment, and average freshman grant.
The Princeton Review is also known for its annual school rankings and profiles in its book, The Best 377 Colleges, published in August, and its books, The Best 296 Business Schools and The Best 168 Law Schools, published in October, as well as its school profiles in its Guide to 322 Green Colleges, published in April.
