The University of Maryland has been deemed a best value college in Kiplinger’s 2019 Best College Value ranking and Money’s 2019 Best College for Your Money ranking.

Money, a leading source for personal finance news and advice, has Maryland listed as the No. 1 value for public colleges in the state of Maryland, top 30 (No. 28) for public colleges nationwide and top 50 (No. 43) overall among 744 schools in the nation. Kiplinger lists UMD as the No. 10 value for in-state students and top 20 (No. 16) value for out-of-state students seeking an education at a public university. Maryland is ranked 101 overall.

In both rankings, universities are recognized for the quality of education in relation to college affordability for the average student.
