Here are the colleges that data show are most effective at helping low-income kids move into the middle class and beyond. You won't see Harvard or Stanford at the top of the list.
For years we’ve heard about how Americans’ upward mobility is broken and middle-class income has stagnated.
That study, which assigned hundreds of U.S. universities a score for their success at moving its graduates up the income scale, is posted in several formats on a splashy website, along with a link to an interactive tool from The New York Times that allows you to see how your favorite college rates. Two of the top 10 — Pace and St. John’s — are private. Only Stony Brook University cracks U.S. News & World Report’s top 100 national universities rankings for 2020. ”The colleges that have the highest bottom-to-top-quintile mobility rates.” the study’s authors write, “are typically mid-tier public institutions” — colleges the kids of entitled parents like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin would avoid at any cost. All of these 10 schools are located in California, New York, and Texas.
The authors contrasted Stony Brook, on eastern Long Island, with Columbia, the Manhattan-based Ivy League university founded in 1754. Not surprisingly, lower-income students who attended Columbia, where they hobnob with the sons and daughters of the American oligarchy, had seven times the likelihood of climbing to the top 1% of the economic ladder as kids who attended Stony Brook. But Stony Brook offered many, many more students access to the middle- and upper-middle class than Columbia.
“From the day they set foot on campus, we start talking about success,” said Charles L. Robbins, a vice-provost and dean of the Undergraduate Colleges. “We have created what I refer to, and I take pride in it, as a culture of success.” “We've got high-quality programs, we've got high-quality students, and we offer a high-value education,” said Braden J. Hosch, head of Stony Brook’s Office of Institutional Research, Planning & Effectiveness. “When you do those three things, you end up with good things happening.”
