Bellarmine University offers a high-quality education at an affordable cost, according to Kiplinger, which ranked Bellarmine among the nation’s 100 “best values” for private universities.

Kiplinger, a publisher of personal finance advice and other business information, measures the academic quality of each school against its affordability, with academic quality accounting for two-thirds of the total score.

“Bellarmine’s inclusion on this list celebrates our emphasis on providing a first-rate education at the most affordable price possible,” said Sean Ryan, Bellarmine's vice president for enrollment management. “Our admissions and financial aid team works closely with prospective students and their families to help them make their private college education more affordable than many expect.”

Kiplinger’s offers an online profile of Bellarmine’s undergraduate programs as part of its 2010-2011 rankings.

This isn’t the only national ranking that Bellarmine has received. The Princeton Review named Bellarmine University one of the nation’s top 373 colleges, and recognized Bellarmine’s Rubel School of Business as one of the nation’s best 300 graduate business programs. U.S. News & World Report ranked Bellarmine 12th among Southern universities in the United States.
