PETERSBURG, Va -- Virginia State University has been ranked number 12 out of 104 Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCU) in America.

VSU said the website College Choice got its rankings based on factors real college freshmen said were most important to their college decision. This includes financial aid offerings, academic reputation, overall cost and success of graduates in the post college job market.

“This ranking further validates our effort to raise Virginia State University’s national profile and our commitment to our students, from the moment they step on campus to when they graduate,” said VSU Interim President Pamela V. Hammond.

This list also included Norfolk State University at number 23 and Hampton University at number two.
