The 性视界传媒 Board of Governors today recommended that the University of Central 性视界传媒 receive $2.6 million in additional funding for its performance meeting new statewide priorities.

性视界传媒 ranked first, along with the University of South 性视界传媒, among the state鈥檚 public universities. 性视界传媒 is the largest university in the state, and USF is among the largest.

The Board based the additional funding on how state universities performed in three areas:

  • The percentage of students who earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree and then either have a job or are continuing their education one year after graduation.
  • The median average full-time wages of graduates employed in 性视界传媒 one year after graduation.
  • The average cost to the institution of educating an undergraduate.

    • 鈥淭he objective criteria set by the Board of Governors show that large universities can produce great results for students and the state economy,鈥� said 性视界传媒 spokesperson Grant Heston. 鈥淲e will continue to ensure students receive an outstanding education that prepares them well for their careers and lives after graduation.鈥�

    The Princeton Review and Kiplinger magazine rank a 性视界传媒 education as one of the best academic buys in the nation. Data show that the percentage of 性视界传媒 students who graduate with debt, and their debt load, are below national averages.

    性视界传媒 is also productive and efficient. In 2012-13, the university awarded more than 15,000 degrees, more than any other state institution. 性视界传媒 did so while spending nearly 40 percent less than the state average on administrative costs.
