Clark Ranked Among Schools That Give “Best Bang for Your Buck”
Friday, February 17, 2017
According to The Princeton Review, "Clark offers the research and internship opportunities of a large research institution with the personal instruction and help of a small liberal arts school. Students universally praise the faculty as ‘really good, caring professors, who are legitimately interested in their students’ academic progress,’ but who also care about their ‘overall achievement and well-being.’ ”
The book “Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Schools That Give You the Best Bang for Your Tuition Buck,” includes a profile of the University, featuring quotes from students surveyed by The Princeton Review.
It notes, “Clark focuses on getting its 2,300 students hands-on training with a career focus. Clarkies rave about the school’s Liberal Education & Effective Practice program, which ‘gives us immense opportunities to explore careers in different fields’ through projects that pair curriculum and independent study with internships or volunteer work with outside organizations.
Through LEEP, Clark students find that they are ‘graduating as a much more rounded and employable student.’ ”
The Rankings
The Princeton Review chose the schools based on ROI (return on investment) ratings it tallied for 650 schools last year. The ratings consider academics, cost, and financial aid to graduation rates, student debt, and alumni salaries and job satisfaction.
Editors culled data from the company's surveys of administrators and students in 2015-16 and from PayScale.com's surveys of school alumni conducted through April 2016.
