The College of Charleston has moved up 12 rungs on Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine’s list of the 100 Best Values in Public Colleges 2009-2010 No. 56.

Other S.C. schools included on the list are the University of South Carolina at No. 32 and Clemson University at No. 33.

The rankings are based on schools’ academic quality and their ability to keep costs affordable.
