Kiplinger's Again Ranks UT Dallas a Best Value

The University of Texas at Dallas is among the top 100 best values in public colleges in the U.S., according to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.   UT Dallas was one of only three universities in Texas to make the magazine’s 2007 “best values” list, which has been posted on Kiplinger’s web site and will be published in its February issue.

UT Dallas was ranked 69th among all public colleges and universities in the country in terms of offering in-state students top notch academics at affordable prices, down slightly from No. 66 last year.  The university ranked 55th on the list for out-of-state students.

The magazine each year grades universities on a number of factors that impact value, including academic quality, tuition costs, graduation rates and average student debt at graduation.

The University of North Carolina was No. 1 on the 2007 list.  The other two Texas schools on the list were The University of Texas at Austin at 24 and Texas A&M University at 26.
