UM-Flint earns national recognition in U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges rankings

The University of Michigan-Flint has again earned national recognition from U.S. News & World Report, with its undergraduate nursing program ranked among the nation's top 100 and programs in engineering, computer science and business included in the publication's latest Best Colleges rankings.

"We are proud to see the breadth of  UM-Flint offerings reflected in this year's rankings," said Laurence B. Alexander, chancellor. "From health care and technology to business and engineering, our programs are preparing students for meaningful careers while responding to the needs of employers and communities across our region and state. That work begins with talented faculty and staff who are deeply committed to our students and their success."

U.S. News ranked UM-Flint's undergraduate nursing program No. 94 nationally, while engineering, computer science and business programs were also included in their respective national rankings. The university was additionally recognized as one of the nation's top public schools and top performers in social mobility.

The annual Best Colleges rankings evaluate institutions and academic programs using a variety of measures related to student outcomes and academic quality, including graduation and retention rates, peer assessments, financial and faculty resources, and student debt and social mobility.

"Recognition across such a diverse group of academic disciplines speaks to the quality and range of opportunities available to our students," said Abby Parrill-Baker, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. "Our focus is on providing rigorous academic programs that evolve with the needs of students, employers and communities, while giving students the personal support, faculty mentorship and hands-on experiences that help them persist, graduate and succeed beyond the university."

The U.S. News Best Colleges rankings are designed to provide prospective students and their families with information to help compare colleges and universities across the country.
