to choose Peru State College’s graduate programs for all the right reasons. It’s no
question we offer more for the cost.”

moved up so much. In addition to looking at metrics such as cost we are also taking
into account graduation rates, enrollment in online courses and regional availability.

metropolitan areas.”
