Ranking and Special Recognition
The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey has been ranked in tier 1 among the nation’s top public colleges and universities in the 2010 survey of America's Best Colleges. In the annual survey, most recently released by U.S. News & World Report in August 2010, Stockton College is ranked among the Best Universities/Master’s in the North. Stockton, which was ranked in this category six years in a row, is in the top tier and among the top public institutions. In the past, Stockton had been classified as a national liberal arts college, but because U.S. News & World Report revised the categories early in 2007, it resulted in placements in a different category for a number of institutions, including Stockton. Currently Stockton is officially ranked 51st with a score of 44.
