Manhattan College’s contribution to the public good in social mobility, research and public service has placed it among the 45 Best Master’s Colleges and Universities in the country, according to Washington Monthly's annual rankings. Washington Monthly also recognized Manhattan in the top 40 Best Bang for the Buck schools in the Northeast. This year, Manhattan’s ranking jumped from 96th to 42nd on the 2022 Master’s University list, and went from 120th to 40th on the Best Bang for the Buck: Northeast rankings.
Since 2005, the Washington Monthly, a bimonthly political magazine and website, has ranked schools based on their contribution to the public good in social mobility, research and providing opportunity for public service. All three of these measures are weighed equally, meaning that a college must excel in all of these areas, rather than just excelling in one. The Best Bang for the Buck colleges are rated based on helping non-wealthy students obtain marketable degrees at affordable prices. This year’s ranking focused on equity and value for all students.
