Caldwell University Ranked NJ’s Best-Value School for Regional Universities by U.S. News & World Report

Caldwell, N.J., Sept. 9, 2019 – Caldwell University is the Best Value school in New Jersey and number 18 overall in the “Best Value Schools” in the Regional Universities North category, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 Best Colleges list. Caldwell moved up seven spots on the Best Value Schools list from the 2019 rankings.

Caldwell University was also noted in the rankings of Regional Universities in the North as a top performer for Social Mobility, Ethnic Diversity and Most International Students. Additionally Caldwell is ranked among the top 75 regional universities in the North.

Stephen Quinn, acting vice president of enrollment management and communications, said this year’s rankings are some of the best for Caldwell University. “We are thrilled that the U.S. News & World Report shows us as the best value in New Jersey and among the top 20 for best value schools in the Regional Universities North category. We are reaching those milestones by offering a cost-effective, strong academic education with a focus on each individual student’s aspirations and goals.”

As explained by U.S. News & World Report, the Best Value calculation “takes into account a school’s academic quality, as indicated by its 2020 U.S. News Best Colleges ranking, and the 2017-2018 net cost of attendance for a student who received the average level of need-based financial aid. The higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the deal.”

This fall Caldwell welcomed its second-largest freshman class in its history with students hailing from 13 states and 14 countries and with 67 percent identifying as students of color.
