No. 1 In Nation For Low-Income Student Success

Stephanie Cannon '06 October 29, 2015 9:07 AM updated: November 23, 2015 1:47 PM

Texas A&M is top of another rankings list. This time A&M is number one in a ranking compiled by Priceonomics.com that compares institutes of higher learning and the success of low-income students.

Based on data obtained from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard, Priceonomics editors created a list of schools that are “relatively accessible to low-income students given the strength of their outcomes.” The methodology took the following factors into account: admission rate, graduation rate, repayment (of loans) rate and future annual earnings. The ranking defines “low-income” as students from families with less than $30,000 in annual income.

Texas A&M’s flagship College Station campus achieved a score of 7.1, with an admission rate of 69 percent, a low-income graduation rate of 60 percent, a low-income repayment rate of 87 percent, an annual cost for low-income students of $3,174 and future annual earnings for low-income students of $62,800.
