Prairie View A&M University has been recognized among the top 100 Best Bang for the Buck rankings of Southern universities, according to The Other College Guide: A Roadmap for the Right School for You published by the Washington Monthly magazine. In Addition to PVAMU’s ranking, seven other campuses within the Texas A&M System scored in the top 100 by the publication.
The rankings measure the schools that are the best value based on “net price,” which the guide explains is affordability and how well the universities do graduating students.
The Washington Monthly also ranks universities nationally based on how well they produce cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs, recruit and graduate low-income students, and encourage students to give something back to their country.
Texas A&M University in College Station ranked second and Texas A&M International University in Laredo finished fourth. Prairie View A&M University (21), Texas A&M University-Commerce (22), Texas A&M University-Kingsville (40), Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (83) and Tarleton State University (98) also scored in the top 100.
