Peirce College Named Best Bang for the Buck in the Northeast
Washington Monthly magazine has named Peirce College the #11 Best Bang for the Buck College in the Northeast. The Best Bang for the Buck College list ranks institutions according to how well they help non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices. The list is created by isolating the social mobility metrics from the main rankings of four-year institutions. Peirce was also named among the top 20 institutions nationally on Washington Monthly’s Best Bachelor’s Colleges list, which ranks an institution’s contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and promoting public service.
