Hunter was among five CUNY senior colleges listed among the best colleges in the United States by Money, the personal finance website.
Money’s ranking, which uses a five-star rating system to compare the listed colleges, awarded Hunter four-and-a-half stars.
The colleges were named among the top 745 colleges in the country based on an analysis of graduation rates, cost of attendance, financial aid offerings, and graduates’ salaries.
“We are thrilled to once again see CUNY colleges recognized as some of the best in the country for students who are looking for an excellent and affordable education that will lead to a prosperous career,” said CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez. “Prospective CUNY students should remain assured that our colleges are ready and able to set them up for success as they pursue their professional and personal goals.”
The ranking is the latest recognition of Hunter’s success in providing an affordable and high-quality college education. Last year, Hunter and other CUNY colleges featured prominently in an interactive college ranking, created by the New York Times, that allowed users to prioritize such factors as high earnings, academic profile, economic mobility, low sticker price, low net price, racial diversity and economic diversity.
Similarly, Hunter was listed among “The Best 389 Colleges for 2024” by The Princeton Review, based on survey and opinion data from 165,000 students who attend the 389 recognized four-year schools.
