"A quality educational experience, exceptional affordability and preparing students for success in a diverse and global society are hallmarks of 91ÁÔÆæ's mission," 91ÁÔÆæ President Bonita Jacobs said. "Our continued inclusion in national rankings lists such as Money's Best Colleges for Your Money demonstrates how well the faculty and staff are preparing our students."

The rankings include 739 colleges and universities from across the country.

"Going to college shouldn't mean a lifetime of debt," the magazine wrote in its introduction to the list. "To find the schools that successfully combine quality and affordability, Money weighed more than 20,000 data points, including tuition, fees, family borrowing, and career earnings."

91ÁÔÆæ has been recognized for excellence and affordability by national publications such as Forbes and U.S. News and World Report.
