University of Virginia falls out of top 25 in college rankings list
Uh-oh.
University of Virginia falls out of top 25 in college rankings list
By JUSTIN MATTINGLY Richmond Times-Dispatch 13 hrs ago
Virginia is no longer home to a top 25 college.
The University of Virginia fell out of the top 25 to No. 28, according to the 2020 U.S. News & World Report national university rankings, released Monday. UVA came in at No. 25 on each of the past two years’ lists.
The Charlottesville school was named the fourth-best public university in the U.S. behind the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, Los Angeles; and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
In the national liberal arts school rankings, Washington and Lee University climbed one spot from No. 11 to No. 10. The University of Richmond, the only other Virginia school in the top 50 of the liberal arts rankings, rose two spots to No. 23. Both were ranked in the top 25 for best-value school in the liberal arts category.
....
Virginia Tech climbed two spots to No. 74, tied with Fordham University and Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J. Virginia Commonwealth University fell from No. 157 to No. 162.
In total, Virginia placed five schools in the top 200 institutions — UVA (No. 28), William & Mary (No. 40), Virginia Tech (No. 74), George Mason University (No. 153) and VCU (No. 162).
Princeton and Harvard universities retained their No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively. There was a three-way tie for third place among Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University.
