The State University of New York at Old Westbury has been ranked in the Top 35% in the world as a Best Value University for International Students by Study Abroad Aide (SAA), a comprehensive database of universities worldwide.
The ranking evaluated 8,060 higher education institutions across 69 countries, selecting those institutions that, according to evaluators, “stand out globally for providing a great mix of high-quality education and affordability.”
SAA seeks to encourage students to engage in international study by offering them affordable options abroad without compromising the quality of their education. The World Rankings for Best Value Universities for International Students is a tool for potential students researching an excellent academic experience at a fair price.
“Our commitment to instilling intercultural understanding among what is the most diverse student body in SUNY makes us a natural fit for international students,” said Dr. Bryan Terry, vice president for enrollment management and marketing. “We are proud to have earned this recognition and to welcome students from around the world to our campus.”
While 95 percent of SUNY Old Westbury students last fall were from New York, there are 10 international countries represented among the campus’ student body. The student traveling the furthest hails from Thailand, 8,501 miles from SUNY Old Westbury.
The ranking methodology looks at official University information, tuition and fees, reputation, international student body, and total enrollment, among others.
SAA researchers annually release rankings to guide aspiring international students in choosing their next educational destination.
