Alfred State Gets High Marks From Magazine’s Best College’s List

September 14, 2020

ALFRED, NY, September 2020 – Alfred State College (ASC) continues to be a top choice for prospective students, including a No. 1 ranking among SUNY regional colleges. The 2021 US News & World Report Best Colleges list of northern regional colleges also shows ASC tied for No. 6 in the Top Public Schools. When compared to all public and private colleges in the 11-state northern region, Alfred State is tied for No. 9, up one spot from last year.

“We are delighted that we have not only been named to US News & World Report’s Best Colleges list once again, but that we continue to maintain or improve our excellent rankings every year,” said Alfred State President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “This is a collective achievement involving the efforts of our students, faculty, and staff alike. I commend everyone involved in making Alfred State a top choice for prospective students every year.”

This is the 14th straight year ASC is highly ranked by the publication. The US News definition of a regional college is one that focuses on undergraduate education with less than 50 percent of the degrees in liberal arts disciplines. This makes for a more career-ready graduate. In the north, US News is very selective in only awarding a numeric ranking to 53 northern regional colleges for the 2021 list.

Northern Regional College top 10 honors for Alfred State include:

• No. 1 SUNY among northern regional colleges.
• No. 1 (tie) Colleges with 2,000+ enrollment, both public and private.
• No. 3 Best Value among northern public colleges.
• No. 3 Colleges with out-of-state tuition under $15,000, both public and private.
• No. 3 (tie) Best Colleges for Veterans among northern public colleges.
• No. 3 (tie) Best Colleges for Veterans among northern public and private colleges.

• No. 7 (tie) Highest Social Mobility among northern public colleges.
• No. 7 Best Value among northern public and private colleges.
• No. 9 (tie) Best among northern public and private colleges.

US News & World Report’s Best Colleges list is one of the most sought-after rankings among colleges and universities across the nation. The rankings include data on 1,452 colleges with schools ranked in 17 areas related to academic excellence.
