CCNY offers students a good return on their educational investment and ensures opportunities for social mobility, according to Forbes.
Looking for a school where your educational investment is likely to reward you with a healthy return and ensure opportunities for social mobility? Then include The City College of New York among your options, according to Forbes. It lists CCNY among America's Best Value Colleges for 2018.
Only 300 schools nationally made the Forbes list. Forbes scored them against their peers. It ranked them in six areas: alumni earnings, net price, net debt, school quality, timely graduation, and population of Pell Grant recipients.
City College, with a student population over more than 15,000 (just over 13,000 undergraduate) and annual in-state tuition fees of $6,689, is ranked #93.
Forbes notes that CCNY’s special niche in the CUNY pantheon is research. Almost $1 billion dollars have gone into the development of the CUNY Advanced Research Center and the City College Center for Discovery and Innovation. Both opened in 2014.
In addition, the College is the recipient of funding from various sources for research and advancement in various fields. Recent grants include:
- A $5.3m gift to the Division of Science from an anonymous alumnus;
- $5.2m from the National Science Foundation to lead an international complex fluids project;
- $15.5m from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to increase the output of underrepresented minority scientists and engineers;
- $1.29m to the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership from the NoVo Foundation.
