Christopher Newport has been awarded a four-star rating by Money magazine in its Best Colleges in America 2023 survey.
The magazine overhauled its college rankings system this year, abandoning numbered rankings in favor of a “stars” system. Money evaluated more than 2,400 four-year public and private colleges in the U.S., then downselected the list to 700 institutions using a variety of data points for its Best Colleges list. Money selected Christopher Newport as one of the country’s top-performing schools based on an analysis of factors that included graduation rates, net price of a degree, debt incurred, ability to repay debt, student-to-faculty ratios, standardized test scores and alumni earnings.
