College Consensus, a unique college ratings website that aggregates publisher rankings and student reviews, has ranked FAMU the No. 1 public HBCU (No. 6 overall) in their ranking of the best HBCUs for 2019.
The College Consensus methodology pulls together rankings from U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and Wallethub, averaging all of a given school's numbers to get the Publisher Rating. Then we average student reviews from sites like Cappex, Niche, Student Review, and more, to get the full picture of how students see their colleges, which we call the Student Review Rating.
FAMU was ranked the15th best university in Florida. FAMU finished ahead of Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Florida Gulf Coast, and the University of West Florida.
