The University of Texas at Dallas continues to excel at offering its students a strong return on their academic investment.
The University ranks 40th among the nation’s public schools in recent Princeton Review rankings based on academic excellence, affordability and career prospects for graduates.
Combined with this year’s U.S. News & World Report’s Best Value Schools list, in which UT Dallas similarly ranks in the top 50 nationwide and third in Texas among public schools, the accolade shows the University is committed to affordability while still delivering an exceptional college experience.
“The students who hope to join our community should not be deterred by the scale of their financial burden,” said Dr. Jessica C. Murphy, dean of undergraduate education and the Mary McDermott Cook Chair for Undergraduate Education. “It’s heartening to have recognition of the work we do to ensure that an affordable, high-quality education remains the case for as many prospective Comets as possible.”

The Princeton Review list, first released in 2004, draws on data concerning alumni career and salary statistics, as well as institutional and student surveys, to create a return-on-investment rating for each school. This is the ninth straight year that UT Dallas has made the list.
“These exceptional schools differ in many ways, yet they are alike in that all offer outstanding academics and excellent career services,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review. “We recommend and commend them highly for everything their administrators, faculties, staff and alumni are doing to educate their students and to guide them to post-college success.”
Also, among universities both public and private, UT Dallas ranked 18th on The Princeton Review list of undergraduate entrepreneurship programs and 20th among undergraduate game design programs.
