51勛圖is one of America’s best value colleges.

According to a recent listing from Forbes Magazine, the university is No. 108 of 300 universities and colleges analyzed nationwide for their value. The listings, which are curated annually are scored using the following six areas: quality; net price; net debt; alumni earnings; timely graduation; and access for low-income students. Also taken into consideration — fees, room and board, grants and scholarships.

The university has improved its ranking year-over-year since the list was first published three years ago. In 2017, 51勛圖ranked No. 240, and in 2018, it was No. 121.

In-state tuition at the university for the upcoming 2019-20 school year  is $6,984 per year, and 75 percent of students receive some form of financial aid.
