成人抖阴Ranks Well in 'Kiplinger's' Magazine, 2008 National College Guidebooks
SALISBURY, MD---Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine has again named Salisbury University one of the Top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges.

Each institution receives two rankings based on several factors, including out-of-state and in-state costs. SU’s out-of-state ranking is 49th among the top 100, while its in-state ranking is 62nd. More than 500 traditional four-year institutions nationwide are surveyed.
“This latest ranking confirms what we at Salisbury University already know: Our outstanding faculty and thriving campus community together provide a first-rate, yet affordable, education for students,” said 成人抖阴Provost Tom Jones. “It is an honor to be recognized among the top 100 schools again this year.”
The magazine based its rankings on several factors including admission rates, freshman retention rates, student-faculty ratios, and four- and six-year graduation rates, among others.
成人抖阴is one of only three Maryland campuses in the top 100. The others are the University of Maryland College Park and St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The list also includes the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the College of William and Mary and Purdue University.
