Academies Among 100 “Best Value Colleges”

As noted at AF.mil, the US military academies (AF, Navy, Army, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine) were ranked in the “top 100” Best Value Colleges by the Princeton Review/USA Today.  The recognized strong academic programs and zero-cost education (in relative terms to other schools) contributed to the high rankings.  The survey did not appear to address the “cost” of a military commitment, though in a weak economy what was once a “commitment” may seem to be “job security.”

The rankings and their methodology may be seen at the Princeton site, which requires a free log on to see detailed data.
