Stanislaus State is one of only five colleges in the country to rank in the top 20 of the CollegeNET Social Mobility Index (SMI) for each of the report’s first four years. The 2017 rankings, which ranked Stan State at No. 19, were announced this week by the website.

“What an honor it is to be recognized for the fourth year in a row,” said Stan State Provost Kimberly Greer. “Stanislaus State has a strong commitment to student success in the classroom and beyond."
