Mississippi’s Top Colleges Shine on TIME List | Jackson News

TIME’s first-ever list of America’s best colleges shines a spotlight on Mississippi, with three state schools making the national cut—Mississippi University for Women at 308, Ole Miss at 419, and Mississippi State at 422. The rankings, powered by Statista and based on student outcomes, affordability, and appeal, reveal that while Mississippi didn’t land any top-ten spots (Stanford, MIT dominate), its institutions are punching above their weight. The W’s interim president celebrated it as their third consecutive year topping the state in major rankings—a sign of real progress. This data-driven list offers a fresh look at what truly makes a college “best,” beyond name recognition. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
