Coe College continues to be a Top Performer on Social Mobility
Coe continues to reinforce its reputation as a college that helps its students achieve socioeconomic growth. For the fourth consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report has recognized Coe as one of the Top Performers on Social Mobility. The U.S. News & World Report rankings place Coe in the top 100 nationally for social mobility, and #2 in the state of Iowa. The methodology tracks enrollment and graduation figures of economically disadvantaged students.
This comes on the heels of Washington Monthly naming Coe a Top 100 liberal arts college based on contributions to the public good, which heavily considers social mobility in its rankings factors.
“If you have a passion for learning and a desire to succeed, you’ll find the learning environment at Coe will propel you to a place of accomplishment quickly,” said Coe College President David Hayes ’93.
The support systems in place at Coe help ensure all students have the assistance and guidance needed to succeed at the college level. Coe provides every incoming student with a success coach from the Office of Student Success & Persistence who helps on an individual level by introducing resources and reminding students of important dates. All students also have the advantage of the Learning Commons as a central resource on campus providing tutors, writing assistance and technical support. In and out of the classroom, Kohawks learn from the #22 Most Accessible Professors and benefit from early professional mentorship and networking coaching with the #8 Career Services, as ranked by The Princeton Review.
Beyond the support services that are prevalent across campus, Coe is ensuring a degree remains accessible, particularly in the face of ongoing FAFSA delays. The Iowa Ready initiative will cap out-of-pocket costs for first-year incoming students from Iowa at $24,000, delivering economic clarity regarding college pricing and access to a transformative higher education.
