SUNY Geneseo is one of the nation's best colleges for students seeking great academics, outstanding career preparation, and generous financial aid – according to The Princeton Review, an academic tutoring, test preparation and college admission service company.
Geneseo is one of 200 schools that the education services company profiles in its just-published book, “Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Best Value Colleges and What It Takes to Get In - 2015 Edition.” The college is also featured on The Princeton Review's website.
The Princeton Review developed a unique "Return-on-Education" (ROE) rating to winnow its list of the 200 colleges for this new book. ROE measures 40 weighted data points – everything from academics, cost, financial aid, and student debt to statistics on graduation rates, alumni salaries and job satisfaction. The company based its ROE rating on it data collected in 2013-14 from its surveys of administrators and students at 650 colleges, plus surveys conducted by PayScale.com through April 2014 of alumni of the same schools. The Princeton Review doesn’t rank the 200 colleges in the book.
"We salute and highly recommend SUNY Geneseo and all of our Colleges That Pay You Back schools,” said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review’s Senior VP/Publisher and lead author of the book. “They stand out for their excellent academics, impressive career preparation services, and affordability to students with need – via comparatively low sticker prices, generous financial aid, or both. Plus their students graduate with great career prospects."
