St. Ambrose named 1 of America’s best colleges for 2024

St. Ambrose is being recognized for quality, affordable education by a national publication.

St. Ambrose University is being honored nationally for high-quality education and affordability. Money.com recently published its annual list of America’s best four-year universities and colleges and St. Ambrose was named “One of America’s Best Colleges” for 2024. The magazine’s annual ranking measures colleges on over 20 factors, including affordability, quality of education and student outcomes like graduation rates and success in landing meaningful jobs.

“Our focus is on our students and providing them with innovative learning experiences and resources they need to become who they are meant to be,” said President Amy Novak, EdD, St. Ambrose University. “St. Ambrose can be surprisingly affordable, and we are intentional in creating a unique environment that helps students find success here and in their future careers. That’s what being Ambrosian is all about.”

The website evaluated over 2,400 universities and colleges across the country. Only about a third of those institutions made the magazine’s initial cut before the published rankings. St. Ambrose was honored for its strong financial health, focus on student learning and graduation rates.

“I’d like to thank our professors, leaders, faculty and staff who work tirelessly to support our students every step of the way,” said Novak. “We’re grateful for this honor and what it represents. We hope everyone will come visit us on campus and see what it means to be a Fighting Bee.”
