The W recognized in ‘25 Best-in-Class Colleges’ by Washington Monthly
Mississippi University for Women has been named to the “25 Best-in-Class Colleges” list, a selection of stand-out institutions from the Washington Monthly’s college rankings.
“We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to academic excellence, student success and service to our community, city and state,” said University President Nora Miller.
Washington Monthly’s 25 Best-in-Class Colleges list does not numerically rank the schools but instead highlights colleges and universities that “show what’s possible when colleges put students and the public good first.”
In addition to being named to the list, Washing Monthly ranked The W at No. 16 in the Best Bang for the Buck–Southern category and placed the university at No. 31 among the Top 100 Master’s Universities and No. 148 out of 500 in the new Best Colleges for Your Tuition (And Tax) Dollars ranking, the highest placement among all Mississippi universities in both categories.
For the 2025 rankings, Washington Monthly ranked more than 1,400 public and private colleges and universities on access, affordability outcomes and service.
Founded in 1969, the Washington Monthly is an independent media organization based in Washington, D.C. Since 2005, the Washington Monthly has ranked colleges based on what they do for the country.
