According to Spring Hill President E. Joseph Lee II, PhD, “We are ranked among the top ten colleges and universities in the country on a new Return on Investment (ROI) calculator.”
Forbes’ Senior Contributor Michael T. Nietzel, a former college president, published an article regarding this calculator that puts Spring Hill on this Top 10 list. Our college is among the top four-year institutions ranked by Price-to-Earnings Premium (PEP), or average number of years required for alumni to pay down net educational costs.
According to Nietzel, the “list illustrates that colleges can earn a good PEP score (the shorter the time to pay down net costs, the better) in two ways: low net costs … where students are able to cover their college costs in less than one year; or high median earnings ten years after enrollment, as is the case with Stanford, Princeton, Georgia Tech and Harvard.”
Here are the top ten rankings:
- California State University, Dominguez Hills
- California State University, Los Angeles
- Stanford
- Princeton
- Georgia Tech
- Cuny Bernard M. Baruch College
- Harvard
- University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley
- Spring Hill College (Alabama)
