Princeton Review Ranks NJIT No. 23 in the U.S. for Best Value
New Jersey Institute of Technology’s value proposition has grown in the eyes of The Princeton Review.
The university ranks No. 23 nationally among public schools on the review’s list of Top 50 Best Value Colleges for 2024 — up 12 places from last year. At the same time, NJIT remains No. 11 among public schools on the Top 20 Best Career Placement list.
Big picture, NJIT is one of just 209 public and private institutions that Princeton Review recognized as Best Value Colleges this year. Those schools emerged from a longer list of 650 that the review considered. It’s the seventh straight year that NJIT has made the cut.
“They comprise only about eight percent of the nation’s four-year undergraduate institutions,” added Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review. “These colleges are also exceptional for the generous amount of financial aid they award to students with need and/or their comparatively low cost of attendance.”
The Top 50 Best Value Colleges scored highest on a return-on-investment rating, which is based on more than 40 data points that measure everything from academics and affordability to career preparation.
NJIT’s ROI rating rose to 91 out of 99 this year — up from 88 last year. That, in turn, fueled the university’s improvement on the top 50 list. To learn more, visit Princeton Review’s full profile of NJIT.
