Stanislaus State Earns Ranked No. 2 'Best Bang for the Buck' in the West, No. 9 Nationally for Master's Programs in Washington Monthly's Annual College Rankings
Stanislaus State continues to demonstrate its commitment to offering students a quality education that prepares them for the workforce without breaking the bank. In Washington Monthly's annual "College Guide and Rankings" released Aug. 27, Stan State landed the No. 2 position in the "Best Bang for the Buck" in the West category, leaping three spots from its 2022 No. 5 ranking. Instead of rewarding schools for their prestige, wealth and exclusivity, The Monthly gives points to schools that help non-wealthy students earn gainful degrees and drives economic mobility and growth. The master's category honors four-year liberal arts institutions that emphasize arts and sciences over professional programs, with evaluations based on their efforts in social mobility, research and the promotion of public service.

Warriors Remember: Dr. Fred P. Hilpert, Professor Emeritus
