Rankings highlight University's emphasis on community service learning

Not only did SF State earn a 4.5 out of 5 star rating in Money’s latest Best Colleges in America rankings, it also earned spots in three special categories: Best Public Colleges, Best Colleges in the West and Bests Colleges with High Acceptance Rates. Only 50 schools out of the 745 on the Best Colleges in America list earned a higher rating than SF State. 

On the SF State profile page in the Money rankings, the University’s emphasis on community service learning is highlighted. “The school of nearly 21,000 undergrads and more than 3,000 graduate students was one of the first universities in the U.S. to offer academic credit for community work and include community service learning hours on students’ transcripts. Students can choose from hundreds of courses with a community service element in a wide variety of fields.”
