Money.com recognizes Cal State LA for affordability, students outcomes, and upward mobility in its 2026 rankings
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Money.com has once again honored Cal State LA as one of the "Best Colleges in America."
The publication's 2026 rankings gave Cal State LA a five-star rating, one of only 42 colleges across the country to receive the top-scale designation.
Money.com points to Cal State LA students' 66% graduation rate but said "where Cal State LA really stands out is helping students from low-income families climb up the socioeconomic ladder."
In 2022, Opportunity Insights at Harvard University listed Cal State LA as the top university in the nation for upward mobility, a measurement of how effectively colleges enroll economically disadvantaged students and graduate them into well-paying careers. Two years later, the California Mobility Index's inaugural rankings of the state's colleges also placed Cal State LA in the No. 1 position.

Money.com also listed Cal State LA among the Best Public Colleges, Best Colleges in the West, and Best Colleges with High Acceptance Rates.
