The University of Maryland Eastern Shore was named one of the Best Colleges in America in 2023 by the personal finance brand and website Money.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UMES received a three-star rating based on available statistical information weighted into three categories \u2013 quality of education, affordability, and graduate outcomes. The rankings ranged from two-and-a-half stars to five stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gratifying to have a highly respected publication like Money Magazine recognize UMES as one of the Best Colleges in America,\u201d said UMES President, Heidi M. Anderson<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cFor too long, we\u2019ve been a well-kept secret. That\u2019s changing now as we continue to expand our academic offerings, boost our student enrollment, and make UMES an affordable and destination choice for undergraduate and graduate education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Money.com website, the Best Colleges rankings combine the most accurate pricing estimates available with indicators of alumni financial success, along with an analysis of how much value a college adds when compared to other schools that take in similar students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To qualify for the list, universities must have at least 500 undergraduate students, have sufficient, reliable data for analysis, not be in financial distress, and have a graduation rate at or above the median for its institutional category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Money listing is the latest accolades and achievements for UMES in the past 12 months; including receiving the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\u2019s Driving Change Initiative<\/a> geared at creating inclusive environments for minorities in STEM, an HBCU research collaboration with Princeton University<\/a>, and increasing rankings in the U.S. News & World Report\u2019s survey of Historically Black Colleges and Universities<\/a>, something President Anderson hopes to parlay to greater successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs one of the top 10 public HBCUs, I applaud our faculty, our staff, and our students for helping us achieve this recognition and look forward to future accolades moving forward,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
