## Recognized Nationally for Value and Outcomes

Manhattan University's value shows up in the places that measure it most closely. Over the past year, the University has earned recognition from *U.S. News and World Report*, *The Wall Street Journal*, *TIME*, *Money*, *Newsweek* and *The Princeton Review*, along with continued honors for its support of student veterans. The Wall Street Journal placed Manhattan in the top 10 percent of U.S. colleges nationally and in the top 4 percent for salary impact relative to tuition. Taken together, these rankings point to the same conclusion: a Manhattan education keeps paying off long after Commencement.
