Stockton’s Ranking Rises in 2020 U.S. News & World Report Study

Stockton University continues to impress with those who rank America's colleges and  universities.

Stockton has again improved its ranking among Regional Universities in the North, placing 7^th among public universities in the 2020 U.S. News and World Report Best College rankings released Monday.

The university rose from 9th in 2019 to 7^th in 2020. Stockton is also ranked 32^nd among the 170 public and private universities in the North region, up from 41^st in 2018 and 35^th in 2019.

Stockton is also included on the list of 2020 Best Value Schools and as a Best Undergraduate Teaching School, which recognizes schools where faculty and administrators are committed to teaching undergraduate students in a high-quality manner.

The university is also included among the “A+ Schools for B Students” and “Best Colleges for Veterans.”

In a press release, Stockton President Harvey Kesselman said Stockton’s continued rise in the rankings is a tribute to the faculty, staff and students who make up the Stockton community. This year Stockton expanded its Student Success Services office and its Military and Veteran Services office and lounge. The new Atlantic City campus, which opened in fall 2018, is providing more opportunities for student learning and internships in the city.

“Stockton’s mission is, and will continue to be, to provide an affordable, high-quality education to a diverse population, enabling more college students to stay in New Jersey and more graduates to succeed in their chosen fields,” Kesselman said.
