The University of Texas at Dallas continues to excel at offering its students a strong return on their academic investment. The University ranks 40th among the nation’s public schools in recent Princeton Review rankings based on academic excellence, affordability and career prospects for graduates. Combined with this year’s U.S. News & World Report’s Best Value Schools list, in which UT Dallas similarly ranks in the top 50 nationwide and third in Texas among public schools, the accolade shows the University is committed to affordability while still delivering an exceptional college experience. “The students who hope to join our community should not be deterred by the scale of their financial burden,” said Dr. Jessica C. Murphy, dean of undergraduate education and the Mary McDermott Cook Chair for Undergraduate Education. This is the ninth straight year that UT Dallas has made the list.
