UCI ranks 21st on Kiplinger's 100 best education deals list

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine ranked UC Irvine 21st this year in its annual listing of the top 100 values in education nationwide. Analysts looked at freshman test scores, student-faculty ratios, graduation rates and education costs to compile the rankings, which included six other University of California campuses. Only eight campuses had a lower “student debt at graduation” number than UCI’s $13,383. More than 500 public, four-year colleges and universities are considered in the evaluation.
