Rankings

Our reputation reflects how others view us, and rankings influence reputation. Accordingly, with all their biases rankings cannot be ignored. Fortunately, we continue to win high praise in international rankings. The most comprehensive research university ranking is the Academic Ranking of World Universities by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. For 2008 it ranks the University at # 37 worldwide and #12 among U.S. publics. The most recent Times of London's Higher Education Supplement's list of the World's Top 200 Universities ranks us #79 and #11 among all U.S. public universities. The new Ranking Web of World Universities, which ranks 16,000 universities by web activity and visibility, ranks the University #20 worldwide and nationally. At the top 0.1% it's fairly airy up here.
