Go Terps!
If there are currently around 25,000 universities in the world, how do you think that the University of Maryland would end up on a short list of only 100 universities?
Well UMD just got ranked #55 on the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings on a list of the top 100 most powerful global university brands.
UMD’s rank on this list is superb – it is on the list of .4 percent of the universities in the entire world. The rankings are based upon a performance breakdown as determined by Times Higher Education. The breakdown consists of a teaching ranking, research ranking and overall ranking in which the university’s attributes of all parts of campus life is analyzed. The list also boasts a column that discloses the percentage of international students that each university has attained. Although we are located in the United States, UMD showcases an impressive nine percent in this category.
