In its 2019 report on the “Best Schools for the Money,” College Factual placed Utica College among the top 10 percent nationally for value. Utica was the second highest rated private institution in New York state.
College Factual’s rankings take into account the average total annual cost, the average time students take to graduate, and the quality the school provides. This means institutions that rank highly are offering a good value for the money that students pay to attend.
Utica College was one of the first colleges or universities in the country to buck the skyrocketing tuition trend, reducing its published tuition price by 42 percent in 2016 – while continuing to provide financial aid to all students with financial need. Utica’s graduation rate has increased 12 percentage points over the past four years, and UC students are graduating with significantly less debt.
National media have continued to profile the success of the bold tuition reset and its impact on Utica’s position in the student marketplace.
