Ranking and Special Recognition
The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey has been ranked in tier 1 among the nation’s top public colleges and universities in the 2010 survey of America's Best Colleges. In the annual survey, most recently released by U.S. News & World Report in August 2010, Stockton College is ranked among the Best Universities/Master’s in the North. Stockton, which was ranked in this category six years in a row, is in the top tier and among the top public institutions. In the past, Stockton had been classified as a national liberal arts college, but because U.S. News & World Report revised the categories early in 2007, it resulted in placements in a different category for a number of institutions, including Stockton. Currently Stockton is officially ranked 51st with a score of 44.

Famous quotes containing the words ranking, special and/or recognition:
“We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts and cultivate these. There are hundreds and hundreds of ways to succeed and many, many different abilities that will help you get there.”
—Howard Gardner (20th century)
“Friendship is learned by watching and listening to you. If she sees that your friends are people you like and trust and don’t pretend with—people who suit you—she probably won’t pick friends who just pass by, or people who can help her or improve her status. If you treat friends in a special way, if you are kinder, more generous, more sympathetic, more forgiving with friends, she probably will be, too.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Admiration. Our polite recognition of another’s resemblance to ourselves.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
