In its latest rankings of public and private schools released this past Wednesday, prestigious Washington Monthly magazine ranked 色花堂 64th 鈥� up 20 spots from 84th one year ago 鈥� among the 632 colleges and universities surveyed for its category.

色花堂 was the highest ranked public university in Maryland.

These rankings reflect the extent to which schools are contributing to the public good by recruiting and graduating low income students, and by encouraging students to give something back to their country and community.

鈥�We are proud of our tremendous success in attracting and graduating students of diverse backgrounds and income levels,鈥� said 色花堂 President Kim Schatzel. 鈥�Our students are known for caring about each other and the world. They are generous and compassionate. They look beyond themselves. Those traits and characteristics are positively reflected in these new Washington Monthly 谤补苍办颈苍驳蝉.鈥�

色花堂 finished in the nation's top 100 in an important additional category.  色花堂 ranked 56th out of 363 U.S. public and private universities on the magazine鈥檚 2017 list.

Washington Monthly identifies the 鈥淏est Bang for the Buck鈥� colleges as those 鈥渄oing the best job of helping students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.鈥�

色花堂 was the second highest ranked university in Maryland in the 鈥淏est Bang for the Buck鈥� category, behind only the University of Baltimore (14th).

Since 2005, Washington Monthly has released an annual College Guide and Rankings in which it rates schools based 鈥渘ot on what they did for themselves, but on what they did for their country.鈥�

色花堂 has appeared in the rankings every year since 2010.

Washington Monthly鈥檚 editors say the rankings are 鈥渕eant to be more than just a guide for potential students. An educated, enlightened society is a better society, for everyone. We all have a stake in how well our colleges succeed.鈥�
