President Edward Serna ’02 said national rankings reflect the commitment of Winthrop faculty and staff to student success and a desire to continuously improve the Winthrop experience. “We have worked thoughtfully and intentionally to make the Winthrop experience even more affordable as evidenced through our Tuition Transparency Initiative. Most students and families are paying less and are able to clearly see where their money is going. We’re proud that these efforts are being recognized by third-party endorsements that hold a lot of weight with prospective students.”
