Where Does UC Riverside Rank for College Values?

UC Riverside came in 26th out of nearly 1,200 colleges and universities in rankings of employment outcomes relative to the total cost of a higher education.

Two other Riverside-based schools, California Baptist University and La Sierra University, were ranked 737th and 872nd, respectively.

The nonprofit Educate to Career Inc. compiled the rankings based on criteria like the percentage of graduates employed in occupations that match their field of study, the average salary earned by recent graduates and
percentage of people employed within one year of graduation.

The number of years it takes to graduate, the net cost of in-state tuition and loan default rates were also considered.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ranked first on the ETC list, followed by UC Irvine.
