UGA is ranked 21st among public universities and tied for 58th overall according to the U.S. News & World Report’s 2010 edition of America’s Best Colleges.
“Whenever the University of Georgia is recognized this way by any organization, it is a testament to the collective commitment to excellence that exists on this campus,” said UGA President Michael F. Adams. “UGA’s high national rank in this and many other publications should make everyone who loves this place very proud.”
UGA also was listed among 25 national universities for 2008 graduates with the least debt.
The undergraduate program at the Terry College of Business is ranked 25th overall-up from30th last year-and 18th among public business schools. This year’s ranking marks the 11th consecutive year Terry has been ranked in the top 30. Terry’s risk management and insurance program maintained its second place ranking nationally, as did the real estate program, which is ranked third in the country.
“We see continual improvement in the quality of students and faculty in the Terry College of Business, and it is satisfying to have our undergraduate program consistently recognized as one of the very best in the country,” said Dean Robert T. Sumichrast. “We’re undertaking some curriculum changes this year that will challenge our students in the classroom and make their campus experience even better while they’re students in the Terry College.”
