Highlights of 2006-2007

Rankings

And rankings are another indicator. The Academic Ranking of World Universities places us 37th in the world and 12th among U.S. Publics.

Our field rankings for engineering and computer sciences, natural sciences and mathematics, and for social sciences are bracketed by 13th and 23rd worldwide and 5th and 10th among U.S. publics. The bias of the ARWU is to favor large, strong research universities like this university. As such the rankings are not bad.
