In its 2019-2020 ranking, Money Magazine has named UCI the best college in the nation.
The #1 ranking is the first for any public university. Last year, Princeton University was named the best college in the country.
Money Magazine credited UCI’s continued growth in providing accessible, high-quality education and fostering alumni success for it’s top spot. UCI scored well across the board but especially in the measures of low-income and Pell Grant enrollment and favorable graduate outcomes.
