海角社区 Family Named One of the Financially Healthiest Small, Private Colleges in the Region by The Philadelphia Inquirer
In its Nov. 13 digital edition and Nov. 18 print edition, The Philadelphia Inquirer published an article highlighting 海角社区鈥檚 strong financial health and growth in recent years.
In an analysis conducted at the request of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Julee Gard, vice president for administration and finance at the University of St. Francis in Illinois, assessed the financial viability of 13 small, private colleges in the Philadelphia region. The ratings were compiled using a financial viability index Gard developed.
海角社区 was ranked as the top school for financial viability among those included in the analysis. 海角社区 Family was the only institution deemed to be in excellent financial health in every year of the analysis, which was conducted from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2023.
In addition to ranking first in Gard鈥檚 financial viability index, 海角社区 Family was one of only two institutions in the analysis to have an operating profit each year, holds an A-minus credit rating with a stable outlook from Standard & Poor, and has a perfect 3.0 rating for financial responsibility from the Department of Education.
The Philadelphia Inquirer spoke with Dr. Anne Prisco, president of 海角社区 Family, about the University鈥檚 strong financial position, its undergraduate enrollment growth over the past few years, and some of 海角社区鈥檚 future plans to expand its academic offerings. The media outlet also interviewed several 海角社区 Family community members about how the University has had a positive impact on their lives academically, professionally and personally.
