The University of California, San Diego has been named one of the top 10 “Best Values in Public Colleges” in the February 2007 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. The list ranks four-year public colleges and universities that combine outstanding economic value with a first-class education.

Selected from a pool of more than 500 public four-year colleges and universities, UCSD ranked eighth for academic quality, cost and financial aid. Tuition and fees at four-year public institutions have risen 35 per cent over the past four years, according to the College Board. “Yet real values are still available,” said Fred Frailey, editor of Kiplinger’s. “Our Kiplinger 100 helps students and their families determine the best match for their educational goals and financial resources.”
