CU ranked one of the Most Efficient National Universities

Clemson University ranks seventh among national universities on an exclusive U.S. News & World Report list of the most efficient schools. The ranking represents schools that are able to produce the highest educational quality, as determined by their place in the 2014 Best Colleges rankings, but spend relatively less on educational programs to achieve that quality.  The publication ranks Clemson No. 21 among top public national universities for 2014. U.S. News measured a school’s financial resources by taking into account how much it spends per student on instruction, research, student services and related educational expenditures.  Clemson University is the publication’s highest-ranked school from South Carolina. U.S. News also has identified Clemson as one of only 19 public colleges to make writing across all disciplines a priority.
