For the fourth consecutive year, 好色先生TV is included among the Fiske Guide to Colleges<\/a>‘ annual list of the 20 \u201cBest Buy\u201d colleges and universities in the country.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oglethorpe is once again the only school in Georgia\u2014public or private\u2014to make Fiske\u2019s 2020 list of 10 private and 10 public colleges and universities nationwide.<\/p>\n

For 37 years, the Fiske Guide has identified a select group of schools noted for quality academic offerings and affordable cost for its annual Best Buy list. These are schools that, in the judgment of the Fiske editors, offer \u201coutstanding educational value as determined by academic quality in relation to the net cost of attendance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiske specifically noted this about Oglethorpe: \u201cThis urban-based liberal arts school attracts a student body rich in socioeconomic and racial diversity, thanks in part to generous financial aid,\u201d and further recognized that Oglethorpe \u201cwill match the in-state tuition rate of each U.S. state\u2019s flagship institution for incoming freshmen who meet certain criteria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oglethorpe\u2019s in-state tuition match program,\u00a0Flagship 50<\/a>, was launched in fall 2018 and was the first program of its kind in the country.<\/p>\n

Edward B. Fiske served for 17 years as education editor of The New York Times, during which time he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He wrote the Fiske Guide to Colleges to help them, updated annually with the Fiske editorial team. The Fiske Guide aims to share “the unique personalities of schools” and offers in-depth college descriptions, ratings, up-to-date tips from current students, and tools for broadening and narrowing prospective students’ college lists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":71878,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4554,4552,4565],"tags":[3218,3279,3280,3281,3282,3216,3283,3284,3285,3286,3287,3288,3220],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-71875","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-featured","category-news","tag-affordability","tag-affordable","tag-affordable-private-college","tag-best-buy","tag-college-admission","tag-diversity","tag-flagship-50","tag-georgia-college","tag-georgia-private-college","tag-georgia-university","tag-tuition","tag-tuition-match","tag-value"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFiske Guide to Colleges puts Oglethorpe among top 10 'best buy' private universities in the U.S. -
