SALISBURY, MD---U.S. News & World Report has named ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ one of its Best Colleges for 2019.

“For many years, SU’s students have committed themselves to a tradition of excellence and success,” said Dr. Karen Olmstead, SU interim provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. “U.S. News’ continued ranking of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ among the nation’s best academic institutions is validation that our hard-working faculty and staff continue to build upon this commitment and provide a quality educational experience.”

Other publications also have taken note of what SU has to offer. This summer, SU was again named among “The Best Colleges for Your Money” by Money magazine and a “Best Bang for the Buck” college by Washington Monthly.

In August, The Princeton Review named SU one of its Best 384 Colleges for the 20th consecutive year. The Princeton Review’s list is compiled through a combination of statistical analysis, campus visits and student surveys. Its rankings represent the top 15 percent of colleges and universities, both public and private, in the nation.

The 635 institutions in U.S. News’ Best Regional Universities category are split among four geographic areas — North, South, Midwest and West. In the northern region, SU ranked 87th in the top tier among 187 publics and privates, and 67th among the north’s “Best Value Schools.”

SU also once again made the publication’s list of “A+ Schools for B Students.”

U.S. News uses several criteria to measure academic quality including student outcomes, faculty resources, financial resources, student excellence, standardized test scores, high school class standing among first-year students, alumni giving, and assessments from peer institutions and high school counselors.
