ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Kiplinger's magazine has named the SUNY
College at Oneonta to its 2009 "Kiplinger
100 Best Values in Public Colleges," which was released in the December
2008 issue of the magazine. This marks the third successive appearance by
SUNY Oneonta in Kiplinger's nationwide rankings of the top 100 public
colleges and universities based on "a combination of outstanding academic
quality and an affordable price tag."
The College at Oneonta is ranked 54th for 2009, following
rankings of 75th in 2008 and 98th in 2007.
Using national data provided by Peterson's/Nelnet, Kiplinger's
selects colleges and universities based on measures of academic quality
including freshman SAT or ACT scores, admission rates, and retention and
graduation rates. The magazine then ranks the colleges and universities
based on costs and financial aid.
Kiplinger's is the second magazine to give national recognition to
the College at Oneonta in recent months. In August, U.S. News and World
Report ranked the College 49th in the top tier of "America's
Best Colleges 2009."
