Quality education at discount prices: Tennessee Tech University Ranks High in National Lists

Tennessee Tech University

Tennessee Tech University flies under the radar for most college hopefuls, but this school is a powerhouse for education on a budget. Tech has it all: a beautiful campus, dedicated teachers, an innovation center, and an economical price tag.

Forbes knows what I’m talking about. According to Forbes, TTU ranks #170 in the country for public universities. The university was also number #177 in their list of America’s Best Value Colleges of 2019.

But Forbes isn’t done. As it turns out, Forbes REALLY likes making lists. Let’s explore a few more. 

For Forbes’ Best Colleges in the South list, TTU ranked #108 (on a list that includes public AND private universities). 

Tech also scored #486 in the US according to Forbes’ Top Colleges of 2019. That’s #486 in a list of over 4,300 public and private universities! That means our little local university beats out over 88% of all universities in the US! How’s that for local pride?!

But lists aside, if you’ve seen the campus or taken classes at TTU, you understand the value of Cookeville’s university better than a national magazine ever could. You’ve heard students and parents brag about TTU’s Computer Science Department, the Engineering program, its stellar Nursing program, and much more. Maybe you've been the student or parent doing the bragging. 

And what's not to brag about? TTU is a fantastic school. Even Forbes thinks so.
