Money Magazine rates the best in each state

MONEY’s annual Best Colleges rankings and search tools are designed to help families find a great college at a great price. For many college-bound students, that means a campus within a few hours of home. In fact, eight in 10 college freshman attend a school that’s less than 500 miles from home, according to UCLA’s annual survey of college freshman. That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of the highest-ranked college in each state. If you’re wondering why you’ll see just 49 schools, it’s because two states—Alaska and New Mexico—don’t have any colleges that made this year’s rankings (but D.C. does have one).

State of Alabama

Auburn University

Overall rank: 206

• Estimated price for 2016-17 without aid: $30,300
• Estimated price for 2016-17 with average aid: $19,100
• Average student debt: $22,250
• Early career earnings: $49,000

With an undergraduate population of about 21,700, Auburn isn’t among the largest colleges in our rankings (or even in its state), but a long-time annual tradition known as Hey Day makes it feel even smaller. Students, faculty, and staff all wear nametags and are encouraged to say “hey” to anyone they see on campus. Full profile.

Service at Auburn’s Bailey Small Animal Hospital earns top rating

Published: 01/26/2016

By: Ed Brown

The Emergency and Critical Care Service in the Wilford and Kate Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine has become the first service in Alabama to earn a Level I rating by the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society.

Level I is the highest rating awarded to a veterinary emergency and critical care facility by the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, which promotes the advancement of knowledge and high standards of practice in veterinary emergency medicine and critical patient care. The certification is for two years.

"It's an honor to receive this certification, and to be acknowledged at this level of performance," said Dr. Lenore Bacek, an assistant clinical professor and head of the Emergency and Critical Care Service. "It also shows the level of hard work and dedication that our faculty, technicians and administrators give to make our service successful."

The Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society has three levels of certification based on factors including hours of operation, facilities and equipment available to treat patients, workflow, veterinarians available for treatment and consultations, and the level of education and training that veterinarians have.

The Emergency and Critical Care Service is one of 13 specialized services in the Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital, a referral and primary care veterinary facility. It has two board-certified Diplomates, Bacek and Dr. Kendon Kuo; four residents; six interns; 24 veterinary technicians, four of whom are board-certified in emergency critical care; and fourth-year veterinary students in a clinical rotation.

The award announcement will be placed in the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, and the Bailey Hospital will be added to the directory of the VECCS' website, which clients can search to find facilities that are certified and at what level.
