UNL In The News
2008 Kiplinger Best Value - Nebraska again ranks as one of Kiplinger’s (2008) 100 best values among public colleges and universities. Rankings are based on measures of academic quality (nearly two-thirds) and affordable costs. In case of a tie, academic-quality scores and the average debt at graduation were used to determine rankings.
We’re No. 1. UNL is the No. 1 ranked (most popular) public university in the nation, according to US News and World Report. We are ranked sixth in the nation among all universities, public and private. The five institutions ranked ahead of Nebraska are Brigham Young University, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT. The rankings are based on yield rate, which is the percentage of students admitted to an institution who actually go on to enroll in that school. According to US News, “If a school has a high yield (a large proportion of those admitted enroll), it means that the school is most likely very popular with a top reputation and that the students are highly motivated to go there.”
UNL was given an “A” for safety. UNL was one of just 45 schools given an “A” in Campus Safety by Reader’s Digest, and just one of three Big 12 universities. For more information, see http://www.rd.com/family/parenting/parenting-and-education/is-your-college-student-safe-at-school/article.html.
