St. Lawrence University a ‘best value’ among private colleges, Kiplinger’s says

Posted

CANTON -- Kiplinger’s Personal Finance has included St. Lawrence University in its list of best values in private colleges, the school said.

Kiplinger’s list of 200 colleges includes 100 private universities, which tend to focus on research and award degrees beyond the bachelor’s level, and 100 private liberal arts colleges, which tend to focus primarily on undergraduate teaching. St. Lawrence University ranked number 66 in this year’s list of “Best Values in Private Liberal-Arts Colleges,” up from 67 last year and 73 in its 2013 edition, according to the school.

According to Kiplinger, St. Lawrence and the other institutions included in the 2015 lists represent the colleges that provide high-quality academics at a reasonable cost, SLU said.

St. Lawrence’s average financial aid package, which can include gift aid, federal grants and loans, and campus employment, was just over $35,000 for the 2014-15 academic year, the school said.
