UNC Greensboro is ranked No. 27 in Washington Monthly’s “Best Bang for the Buck Southeast Colleges” and No. 96 overall out of 391 institutions. The publication also features UNCG among the “Best Colleges for Student Voting.”

To determine overall rankings, the publication combines the scores of three metrics: social mobility, research, and service. UNCG scored high marks in the social mobility category, which recognizes institutions for enrolling students from low-income backgrounds and helping them earn degrees.

Washington Monthly also recognized UNCG for affordability and for high graduation rates among Pell Grant recipients.
