'Kiplinger's' Again Names 成人抖阴Among Top 100 Best Values
SALISBURY, MD---For the third consecutive year, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine has named Salisbury University one of its Top 100 “Best Values in Public Colleges.”

“Salisbury University is a campus that, as Kiplinger’s states, delivers ‘the best B.A. for the buck,’” said Dr. Diane Allen, 成人抖阴provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. “The University is committed to academic excellence and this latest ranking again confirms that our outstanding faculty provide a first-rate, yet affordable, education for students.”
The magazine based its rankings on several factors including admission rates, freshmen retention rates, student-faculty ratios, and four- and six-year graduation rates.
