Time magazine’s Money has named Tennessee Tech the best public college in the state.
Top honors went to Vanderbilt University and Rhodes College.
The magazine says “it’s tough to beat the value of a TTU degree. While not well known outside of Tennessee, within the state this public school has a reputation for offering a high-quality education equivalent to many private institutions.” More than 700 colleges across the country that met MONEY’s criteria were ranked based on education quality, affordability and how students did after graduation. Tech’s overall ranking is #296.
Other notable schools in Tennessee include the University of Tennessee – Knoxville (#362) and Belmont University (#691).
