DURHAM, N.H. — The University of New Hampshire is the No. 7 “Best Value” public university according to the 2024 U.S. News & World Report Best College rankings. UNH moved up two spots from last year and maintained its position as the No. 1 best value public college in New England.

“In 2019, UNH committed to becoming a top-25 public university based on the data that best indicates student success. For us, this meant attention to on-time graduation rates, participation in high-impact learning experiences, and of course, providing access to quality public higher education by focusing on value,” said James W. Dean Jr., president of UNH. “By emphasizing data demonstrating student success and social mobility, this year’s US News & World Report rankings help students and families focus on schools that will best prepare them for successful careers. The new rankings better reflect UNH’s unique commitment to serving our students and we’re proud to see the work reflected through our improvement in several categories.” 

In addition to moving up as a Best Value public university, UNH strengthened its position as a National Best College (No. 115, up from 137 last year) and Best National Public University (No. 58, up from 64 last year). UNH was also ranked No. 76 as the best national college for veterans.
