U.S. News released its 2025 Best Colleges rankings Tuesday. The University of Mississippi is the state’s top public university while Millsaps earned top spot for the state’s best liberal arts colleges, both maintaining their top titles from last year’s rankings.
The annual U.S. News rankings considered a number of factors including tuition price, enrollment numbers, testing score and community engagement.
