three in North Carolina, according to Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
For 2008-09, UNCW is ranked 25th nationally as a "best
value" for in-state students and 35th for out-of-state students.
This is a significant improvement over last year's rankings, in which
UNCW placed 36th in value for in-state students and 51st for out-of-state
students.
In North Carolina, Kiplinger's ranks UNCW as the third best value in
public education, behind only the University of North Carolina and North

universities in the state since 2003.
