Pomona
College Named One of the Nation’s Best Values in Liberal
Arts Education
|
 |
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine has named
Pomona College fifth on its list of the 50 Best Values in
Liberal Arts Colleges. The list, which ranks private
colleges and universities that exemplify outstanding
economic values and an exceptional education, appears in the
April 2007 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance (on
newsstands March 12) and at
www.kiplinger.com/tools/privatecolleges.
“I’m very pleased that both Pomona’s quality and its
generous financial aid policies are being recognized,” said
Pomona College President David W. Oxtoby. “Pomona College
provides one of the very best college educations in the
country and is one of only a handful of colleges with
need-blind admissions that meets the full financial need of
every accepted student. This ranking and the information on
financial aid serve an important role in helping to
publicize that moderate and low-income families can afford
to attend a high quality, private college. This information
is too often missing from news stories about college tuition
and admissions.”
Pomona College was selected from a pool of more than 1,000
private institutions provided by Peterson’s. Kiplinger’s
Personal Finance ranked the top 50 universities and top 50
liberal arts colleges in separate tables. To rate each
school, Kiplinger’s took into account admission rate, SAT or
ACT scores, student-faculty ratio, four-year/five-year
graduation rate, total costs, cost after need-based aid, aid
from grants, cost after non-need-based aid, and average debt
at graduation.
Pomona College is the founding member of The Claremont
Colleges, a consortium of five independent undergraduate and
two graduate institutions. Two of Pomona’s sister schools
were also named among the top 100: Claremont McKenna College
ranked 9th and Scripps College was 37th. Only five
California colleges made the top 50. The other two were
Occidental (#35) and Thomas Aquinas (#32).
