全美19所五星級頂尖公立大學 14所在加州 | 大紀元

【大紀元2025年07月10日訊】(大紀元記者夏雨綜合報導)想獲得頂級大學學位又不想背負債務?據個人理財網站Money.com的最新全美大學排名,加州居民擁有得天獨厚的條件。 Money.com今年6月底發布2025—2026學年美國頂尖公立大學排名,在19所獲得五星最高評級的公立學校中,有14所位於加州。 注重大學學費投資的潛在回報 超過60%攻讀學士學位的美國學生就讀於公立大學。鑒於如今的學費,一個主要原因並不令人意外:就讀州內公立大學通常是學生最經濟實惠的選擇。 但這並不意味著學費便宜。根據美國大學理事會的數據,去年四年制公立大學平均年學費和雜費為11,610美元。加上食宿費,公立大學的年費高達24,000美元。 因此,家庭越來越關注大學學費投資的潛在回報。Money雜誌最新發布的2025—2026年度最佳大學榜單,可以幫助學子從這個角度研究各自所在州的公立學校。 Money雜誌今年的榜單基於25個數據點,重點關注畢業率、平均學費和借貸額度,以及校友平均薪資和近期畢業生就業率等指標。 在19所獲得五星(最高評級)的公立院校中,既有像密歇根大學和北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校這樣的知名旗艦院校,也有像伊利諾伊大學芝加哥分校和加州州立大學幾所分校等,以學費低廉和入學便利性著稱的院校。 「這些公立大學為本州學生提供了極佳的價值。」Money雜誌表示,「其中一些是擁有全國知名品牌的競爭性大學。另一些是交通便利、專注於服務當地社區的校園。所有這些學校都在我們2025—2026學年的排名中位列前30%。」 加州大學洛杉磯分校校園。(Joyce Kuo/The Epoch Times) 14所獲五星評級的加州大學 以下是在Money雜誌最佳公立學校榜單上獲得五星評價的加州公立大學,排名依據本學年包含助學金後的預估入學費用,從最便宜到最昂貴排列: 加州州立大學多明格斯山分校(California State University, Dominguez Hills) 錄取率:91%含平均助學金的預估學費:4,700美元畢業率:69% 加州州立大學洛杉磯分校(California State University, Los Angeles) 錄取率:92%含平均助學金的預估學費:4,800美元畢業率:64% 加州州立大學富勒頓分校(California State University, Fullerton) 錄取率:87%含平均助學金的預估學費:6,700美元畢業率:80% 加州州立大學聖貝納迪諾分校(California State University, San Bernardino) 錄取率:98%含平均助學金的預估學費:7,100美元畢業率:69% 加州州立大學斯坦尼斯洛斯分校(California State University, Stanislaus) 錄取率:97%含平均助學金的預估學費:7,800美元畢業率:69% 加州州立大學長灘分校(California State University, Long Beach) 錄取率:47%含平均助學金的預估學費:10,300美元畢業率:83% 加州州立理工大學波莫納分校(California Polytechnic State University, Pomona) 錄取率:74%含平均助學金的預估學費:12,600美元畢業率:86%…
