(Vallejo, California – August 26, 2019) – Washington Monthly's College Guide, which rates schools for their overall contribution to the public
good, once again ranks California State University Maritime Academy highly this year
for social mobility outcomes, bang for the buck, and nationally among other baccalaureate
universities.
In the overall rankings which rated schools on their contribution to the public good,
Cal Maritime ranked 11th among all baccalaureate colleges nationally and first in
the West. The rankings are based on three categories: social mobility, research, and
providing opportunities for public service.

schools help non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.

to see our University ranked highly for its contribution to the success of our graduates
and their continuing contributions to community and the nation," said Cal Maritime
President Thomas Cropper. "These rankings reflect the hard work of our faculty, students,
and staff."
