Kiplinger Magazine Ranks University of Iowa in Top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges for 2013 Rankings

The University of Iowa has been again named a top value for a public institute of higher education by Kiplinger Personal Finance Magazine in its 2013 rankings of 100 public institutions across the country.

Iowa was ranked #49 in the country for instate students based on a variety of criteria including cost per year, average graduation rate, admission rate and average debt after graduation. Iowa ranked #72 for value for out-of-state tuition.

Although Iowa fell from its ranking last year of #47 for instate schools, it was still the highest ranked among the three Regents Universities. Iowa State and Northern Iowa came in at #85 and #95 for instate students respectively, with lower out-of-state values as well.
