California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) was recently ranked in two national publications for its affordability and was among the top universities to provide the best return on investment for students.
CSUB was recognized in the top 10% of LendEDU’s Fifth Annual College Risk-Reward Indicator Study and ranked No. 26 on the Top 100 Most Affordable Public Schools with the Highest Return on Investments (ROI) for Great Value Colleges.
LendEDU’s nationwide study analyzes four-year colleges and universities to find those that provide the best return on investment for students by factoring in average early career pay and average student loan debt at graduation.
The most recent data, according to LendEDU, shows that graduates with student loans have $28,565 in debt, on average, when they walk across the stage to receive their diplomas. At CSUB, the average is $18,143, with 45% of CSUB freshmen graduating with zero debt and 29% of transfer students graduating with zero debt.
Rankings for Great Value Colleges are determined by using data collected from College Navigator regarding tuition, as well as program information gleaned directly from each institution’s official website. For this ranking, affordable tuition, 40-year ROIs and national recognition as a top public school were considered.
CSUB was also recognized through Great Value Colleges for the institution’s overall outstanding reputation, its faculty excellence and the unerring commitment to providing students a high-quality education; in doing so, CSUB gives students the tools they need to achieve their future career goals.
