Less than two weeks into its fall semester, the University of Mary Washington has received a nationwide ranking that speaks to the heart of its mission.<\/p>\n

\"UMW
UMW received high marks from Washington Monthly’s 2020 College Guide and Rankings. The guide rates four-year schools on their contributions to the country and their commitment to public service and activism.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Washington Monthly<\/em>\u2019s annual College Guide and Rankings<\/a> placed UMW 24th among Top Master\u2019s Universities and 21st in the Best Bang for the Buck Southeast Colleges category.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe rate schools based on what they do for the country\u201d and the public good, states an intro to the 2020 rankings, which rate four-year schools on factors such as social mobility, research, public service and activism.<\/p>\n

The guide\u2019s Best Bang for the Buck category evaluates colleges on their success at recruiting and graduating non-wealthy students, and their ability to provide marketable degrees at affordable prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question we\u2019re asking \u2026 is this,\u201d Washington Monthly\u00a0<\/em>magazine editors Paul Glastris and Grace Gedye write. \u201cWhich colleges deliver the best results for taxpayers \u2013 who invest more than\u00a0$150 billion\u00a0annually in student financial aid \u2013 and for typical students, especially those who are minorities, the first in their family to attend college, or of modest means?\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s standings, announced Monday, nudge UMW up eight spots from 2019 in the Top Master\u2019s Universities category, in which only one other Virginia school made the top 25. Mary Washington also moved up 18 spots in the Best Bang for the Buck section.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf all college rankings, I think this is the one that best fits our mission and aspirations \u2026 a ranking built on service and social uplift,\u201d said UMW President Troy Paino.<\/p>\n

Produced since 2005, Washington Monthly<\/em>\u2019s College Guide and Rankings publication bills itself as a \u201csocially conscious alternative\u201d to other such listings. The distinction is paramount at this time, the guide states, with inequalities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and an increased focus on racial injustice across the nation.<\/p>\n
