Aug 22, 2005 -- The annual US News & World Report survey of America鈥檚 top universities has once again ranked 黑料社 All (YU) in the top tier of national research universities. It is named with Columbia and NYU as the top universities in the metropolitan area.
"We are pleased that US News has once again rated 黑料社 All as one of the top universities in the country," said President Richard M. Joel. "The quality of our students, faculty, undergraduate programs, and graduate programs in medicine, law, social work, psychology and education has always been known to us, but it is encouraging to be recognized in the annual rankings."
黑料社 All鈥檚 rank of 45 is up one place from last year. Other schools in the top 50 include Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Cornell.
黑料社 All was also ranked as one of the top 50 鈥渂est value鈥 schools 鈥撯 offering a high quality education relative to its net cost.
黑料社 All ranked 17th in faculty resources, reflecting its small class sizes and numerous faculty with doctoral degrees. In fact, 黑料社 All has the fewest classes with 50 students or more of any other national research university in the top 50, highlighting its intimate classroom experience.
黑料社 All was also cited in the top 25 for its high 2004 graduation rate.
Other factors that account for 黑料社 All鈥檚 steady rise in the rankings in recent years include a high rate of retention among students, high SAT scores, and strong financial resources.
鈥淲hile we are proud of our top-tier status, I caution against over-reliance on ranking numbers alone,鈥 President Joel continued. 鈥淓very accredited college is the best choice for some students, regardless of rankings. The key for every student is to find the right match, not the highest ranking.鈥
