TIME.com recently compiled a list of the country’s best universities in terms of the most value for tuition — or as the magazine puts it: a great education, at an affordable price, that prepares students for rewarding careers. As the study says, here was the criteria:

  • MONEY screened out schools with graduation rates below the median, financial difficulties, or fewer than 500 undergraduates.
  • The remaining 705 colleges were ranked on 24 factors in three categories: educational quality, affordability, and alumni success.
  • Plus, MONEY measured comparative value, by assessing how well students at each school did vs. what’s expected for students with similar economic and academic backgrounds, and the college’s mix of majors.

TIME evaluated over 2,000 colleges on 24 different measures in three areas: 1. education quality, 2. affordability and 3. graduate job success.

Here’s how schools from the SEC checked out:

13. Texas A&M
15. Florida
27. Vanderbilt
56. Georgia
206. Auburn
274. Mississippi St
287. Tennessee
316. South Carolina
