Mississippi Colleges Ranked by 'Best Value'
By adreherIt's back to school time which means time to figure out financial aid, student loans and other expenses for most college students. Smart Asset, a financial advising website, has created a Student Loan Calculator for students to estimate how much they will owe monthly and in total by the time they walk across the stage. The website also ranks each state's colleges and universities by their best monetary value (think starting salaries for graduates, retention rates, tuition costs, etc.).
Here are Mississippi's Top Colleges and Universities ranked by 'Best Value':
- Mississippi University for Women
- University of Mississippi
- Mississippi State University
- Jackson State University
- Delta State Universitiy
- University of Southern Mississippi
- Mississippi College
See how your college or university stacks up here.
