Texas Tech Among Top 10 Most Underrated Colleges
Business Insider named Texas Tech number six on top 25 list.
Texas Tech University came in at number six on Business Insider’s 25 most underrated colleges list.
The list compares graduates’ mid-career salary, according to PayScale, with the U.S. News & World Report rankings of the best colleges.
“The engineering school is particularly strong, and graduates go on to earn an average mid-career salary of $86,700,” the article states.
Texas Tech President M. Duane Nellis said the ranking reveals Texas Tech’s efforts to increase student enrollment and encourage student success.
“Texas Tech has experienced five straight years of record enrollment, which reflects the fact more students from Texas, around the country and across the globe are recognizing the high quality of education we offer,” Nellis said. “Our reputation is on the rise as students’ future earning potential is evident with the success of our alumni. We hear from a greater number of students each year who express their desire to attend Texas Tech.”
The most underrated college, according to the list, is the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
Texas Tech was one of two Texas schools on the list. The University of Houston came in at number 15.
