We beat WVU
As if we needed reminding how great Pitt is, we have officially been declared as one of the top 200 of universities in the world.
The study, which judges the best 1000 universities across the planet, placed us at 142nd. There are an estimated 26,000 universities in the world.
Beating our place of 145th last year, we also came ahead of rivals like WVU, Duquesne and Notre Dame. We even beat the Ivy League school Dartmouth, which came in at just 169th.
MIT, Stanford and Harvard all took the top spots for another year running.
