The University of Evansville has been ranked 41st out of 673 universities in the Master’s Universities category of the 2015 Washington Monthly College Rankings for impact on the lives of its students and the public good. UE is one of only two Indiana universities ranked in the Master’s category.
UE was also ranked in Washington Monthly’s Best Bang for the Buck in the Master’s category, placing 164th out of 403 schools. The Best Bang for the Buck rankings list schools that are the best value for the money based on “net” (not sticker) price, the graduation rates of their students, and if those students go on to earn at least enough to pay off their loans.
Factors considered in the rankings include upward mobility, research and service.
UE President Thomas A. Kazee points out that the ranking criteria used by Washington Monthly, particularly that of service to the community, reflect very well the fundamental mission of the University.
“Part of UE’s commitment,†he explains, “is to give each of its students a transformational and significant educational experience. Teaching the importance of service and social responsibility is an integral part of that.â€
Washington Monthly is a bimonthly magazine based in Washington, D.C., that covers politics, government, culture, and the media. The complete 2016 College Rankings and methodology are available online.
