OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The University of Mississippi<\/a> has been named the “Best Total Package College” in the state, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education compiled in a new ranking from Zippia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ranking takes into account the most recent College Scorecard Data released by the Department of Education. Zippia, a career expert website, ranked all colleges in each state from best to worst with the following determining factors: cost, debt, job prospects and earnings.<\/p>\n

The data shows Ole Miss graduates had an average debt of $19,500, an average annual cost of $24,822 and annual median earnings of $56,600. Those low-cost tuition and average earnings figures placed the university at the top of the state in the rankings and among only a handful of other SEC schools, including the University of Tennessee, University of Arkansas and Auburn University.<\/p>\n

The ranking comes on the heels of another Zippia.com top placement in which Ole Miss students were named the state’s best at finding employment and keeping it<\/a>. That data showed that after 10 years, 91 percent of UM graduates are still employed. In that ranking, the university was one of only two Power 5 institutions on the list for 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
