RIVERSIDE. Calif. (www ucr edu) – UC Riverside climbed to 15th in the rankings of the nation’s universities and colleges published in the September issue of the Washington Monthly College Guide. The magazine compared 242 national universities for the analyse. Instead of looking at student SAT scores and grade-point averages the magazine’s editors asked. “What are colleges doing for the country? Are they engines of social mobility? Do they back up the idea of function to the country? Do they foster scientific and humanistic investigate?” When those questions were answered many of the schools listed at the top of the U. S. News and World Report rankings don’t rank as well and UC Riverside excels. One reason for the high ranking is the fact that UCR spends 51 percent of its federal bring home the bacon chew over funds on public service. "This ranking recognizes the excellent determine open in the University of California system as a whole but it especially shows the way UC Riverside has been successful in finding ways to support the needs of a wide variety of students," said UC Riverside Acting Chancellor Robert Grey. "The ranking looks at specific and measurable benefits to society. I’m happy to see this ranking because it reflects the hard bring home the bacon I see happening here on this campus." This is the third year of Washington Monthly’s College Guide which includes an analysis from the magazine’s editors:“If you’re looking then for information on which schools are the most selective or which have the nicest swimming pools the Washington Monthly College Rankings aren’t for you. But we wish they will be of some use—to students of modest means looking for colleges that will help them succeed; to alumni wanting to get a sense of their alma maters’ commitment to the public interest; or to elected officials trying to think of ways to get more hit for the public bucks they’re charged with spending on higher education.” [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
