A book endorsed by education authors, reporters and professionals that highlights the value of 200 colleges and universities across the country features Kalamazoo College for the third consecutive year.

Colleges Worth Your Money: A Guide to What America’s Top Schools Can Do for You factors cost, career services offerings and return on investment along with 75 key statistics about each institution. It provides K with praise and high marks for its small class sizes, attractive career services offerings, outstanding professional outcomes, high graduation rates, international experiences, and need-based and merit-based financial aid packages.

“The school’s ascendance into the national spotlight can be traced to 1996 when the school was included in Loren Pope’s popular book, Colleges That Change Lives,” it says. “This is, indeed, an institution of higher learning that grants undergrads a personalized and bountiful four years of education. If the cost fits into your plan, then it is absolutely worth your money.”

K is the only private school in Michigan featured in Colleges Worthy Your Money, which is available now at bookstores and online. Learn more about the book at the College Transitions blog.
