(Laredo, Texas)-The COVID-19 pandemic impacted colleges and universities worldwide, but Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) has earned a top tier ranking for its response during these challenging times.
The 2020 Educate to Career (ETC) College ranking placed TAMIU in Tier I for colleges and universities that have responded to the pandemic in ways that benefit and protect students, especially in terms of available online learning resources. Some 1200 colleges across the nation were reviewed.
According to the site, “With the COVID crisis everything has changed regarding college selection criteria. With our new rankings system, a ‘distance learning’ component is mandatory for a high ranking simply because there is a real possibility that at least some instruction will be done via the Internet. Schools that have systems and experience in distance learning, with a campus to support in-classroom teaching have the right formula for today. And factoring in that the U.S. is now in the midst of a deep recession, tuition is also a primary consideration.”
TAMIU President Dr. Pablo Arenaz said the ranking is an affirmation of both the University’s mission and commitment to students.
