Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine recently released its list of “best value” public colleges and universities with George Mason University landing 61st for in-state students and 90th for out-of-state students.

The Kiplinger rating is based on academic quality, which includes student-faculty ratio and admission rate.  Affordability is also factored in based on the total cost of attendance both with and without financial aid.
