The list includes more than 600 four-year universities across the country which were ranked on 24 factors in three categories: quality of education, affordability and outcomes.
ɫͼ State continues to reinforce its “high-quality, high-impact, nationally-recognized best value” promise that has been identified by multiple publications within the past year.

The University offers 146 academic ɫͼs and more than 170 student organizations, encompassing a variety of shared academic and personal interests.
