Texas State named among nation’s best colleges in three categories

Texas State University has been named one of the nation’s “Best Colleges” in three categories for 2024 by Abound, an online college guidance system for degree-seeking adults.

Abound listed TXST among the Best Colleges for Adults, Best Colleges for Military and Veterans and Best 250 Grad Schools.

Abound evaluates schools in four categories: accessibility, affordability, acceleration and advancement:

• Accessibility measures schools on courses offered in the evening, weekends and online; online program options in a diverse range of fields, and on-campus childcare to accommodate adult students with children.

• Affordability assesses financial aid, reduced tuition, scholarships or grants that contribute to making degrees affordable.

• Acceleration considers efforts schools make to streamline the time necessary to complete a degree as well as course credit for military training and prior life experience.

• Advancement evaluates career services, graduation rates for part-time students, Pell Grant recipients and transfer students.
