美国华盛顿特区的著名出版机构Kiplinger 最近推出了2009-2010美国最具性价比的公立大学排行榜。
该排行榜是Kiplinger 根据两大类指标排出的,一是学术指标,包括入学新生的SAT/ACT的成绩、录取率、四年毕业率、六年毕业率、师生比例等指标;二是费用和奖学金指标,包括州内学生花费(美国州立大学对本州学生收取的学费是外州学生的二分之一,甚至更低)、州外学生花费、获取奖学金比例等。
在金融危机之下,虽然很多美国大学,特别是美国州立大学的预算受到很大影响,但也有很多州立大学受到的影响很小,如以下排名靠前的大学。所谓Best Value,即性价比,上美国大学也是一项投资,从考虑投资回报的角度,以下这些大学是值得我们广大中国学生及家长重点考虑的。我个人认为比US NEWS的综合排名更有参考价值。很多家长在选择学校的误区是一要排名靠前,二要奖学金,在我实际接触中,发现这两项在家长眼里很多时候是为了满足一点虚荣心。比如有的大学学费很贵,4万美元一年,一般录取后后学校会给1万的奖学金,这样一来实际费用也要3万美元,还不如选择一所州立大学,虽然没有奖学金,但实际花费是要比这所大学低的。
值得注意的是,这个排名仅针对申请本科的学生。研究生的费用并没有作为权重,所以希望去读本科的家长和学生重点参考。
