TALLAHASSEE Fla.-- Tallahassee Community College has been named the 15th best community college in the United States.
Investment website SmartAsset.com complied the list of the nation's best schools based on the combined factors of cost of education, return on investment, student graduation and transfer rate, and student-to-faculty ratio.
According to the website, TCC had the lowest in-state tuition of any of the top 25 schools. The College also rated eighth-highest of the top 25 in return on investment for graduates.
"We are so pleased to be recognized on a national level for what we strive for as an institution," said TCC President Jim Murdaugh. "This ranking reflects TCC's vision of an affordable, rewarding education for students of all kinds."
SmartAsset.com says they used data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and CollegeMeasures.org in their calculations.
The website is well-regarded by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other respected news organizations.
