“Having a college degree can be the first step to a career that makes a difference, allowing students to make the most out of the mentorship and networking opportunities a great program provides,” the website stated.
“Hidden Gems in Texas are small colleges and universities where students thrive,” it said. “These schools have a low student-to-faculty ratio, so students get more direct attention from the professors who teach the courses.
