In ranking the best college education values in Louisiana, SmartAsset again placed Louisiana Tech No. 1 followed by Tulane University, University of Louisiana at Monroe, University of Louisiana at Lafayette and McNeese State University. Nationally, Louisiana Tech ranked No. 53 in best education value.
“Louisiana Tech continues to build a strong national reputation for providing students and graduates with outstanding value and return on investment,” said Louisiana Tech University President Les Guice. “I am pleased to see the hard work of our faculty and staff being recognized, and I am proud of their amazing dedication to serving our students and advancing our institution.”
SmartAsset analyzed tuition, student living costs, scholarship and grant offerings, student retention rate and starting salary were used in calculating the best value colleges and universities.
