About This Ranking
Texas schools are ranked by undergraduate enrollment from College Scorecard. Only operating colleges with a published enrollment figure are included. The national companion is our largest colleges list. See our methodology for source vintage and cohort definitions.
Caveats and limitations
Enrollment measures campus scale, not academic quality, selectivity, or affordability. A smaller college can still be a better fit on program mix, cost, or outcomes.
