(January 12, 2010) -- Oklahoma State University is one of the nation's 50 "Best Value"
public colleges and universities according to The Princeton Review, one of America's
most widely known education services and test preparation companies. The Princeton
Review teamed with USA TODAY to announce the list today.
The list features 100 schools in all -- 50 public and 50 private colleges and universities
Of the 50 schools chosen in each category, the top 10 are ranked 1 to 10, and the
remaining 40 are listed in alphabetical order and unranked.
In its profile of OSU on USA TODAY’s website, the editors at The Princeton Review
said, “Oklahoma State University offers an affordable yet top-notch education in a
wide range of majors. For such a large school, professors are reportedly motivated,
accessible, and devoted to supporting their students.
“The school complements the academics with a focus on hands-on learning. Study abroad
is popular (the school maintains partner relationships with more than 50 universities
worldwide); many students also participate in professional internships with the help
of the school’s career center.”
OSU President Burns Hargis said, “We are delighted to once again be selected as a
best value by the Princeton Review. This is further recognition that Oklahoma State
University is one of the best higher education choices in the country.”
Also this month, OSU was listed among the nation’s best in the list of 100 best values
in public colleges and universities by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine. OSU
ranks 91st on the list of institutions that are leading the way in delivering strong
academics at reasonable prices.
Princeton Review selected the institutions as its "Best Value" choices based on its
surveys of administrators and students at more than 650 public and private colleges
and universities. The selection criteria covered more than 30 factors in three areas:
academics, costs of attendance and financial aid.
