College ranked among the "Best Colleges in the North" and "Best Value"

Cazenovia, N.Y. (September 13, 2016) For the thirteenth consecutive year, Cazenovia College has been ranked among the top undergraduate colleges in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges publication. According to the 2017 edition of Best Colleges, released September 13, 2016, Cazenovia is 8th among the top tier regional colleges in the North, an area consisting of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the New England states.

In addition, Cazenovia College is ranked 7th among top tier regional colleges in the North as a "Best Value" school.

A higher quality program and lower cost means a better value for students and their families.

U.S. News & World Report’s annual survey of colleges and universities in the United States is based on a number of factors, including average graduation and freshman retention rates, class sizes, student/faculty ratio, alumni giving, and peer institution assessment. According to the regional college rankings, the schools that are recognized “focus almost entirely on the undergraduate experience and offer a broad range of programs” The Best Colleges 2017 guidebook will be available in early October.
