UMW was recently listed among Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine’s “100 Best Values in Public Colleges.”
University officials were pleased to see improvement in the institution’s ranking, which moved to 22nd from 46th in 2003, the last year the magazine published the list.
“As the University continues to excel academically, the value of a Mary Washington education increases each year,” said Martin Wilder, vice president for enrollment. “It is rewarding to know that our students receive a world-class education at an affordable price.”
In recent years, UMW has seen its academic reputation gain national recognition through consistently high rankings in several selective college guidebooks, including U.S. News & World Report, The Fiske Guide to Colleges and Barron’s Profile of American Colleges and Universities.
