Rankings

You expect a university like Rutgers to say good things about its academic programs, students and faculty, research, and its contributions to making a difference, locally and beyond. But when institutions outside the university publically recognize and honor the quality of those things, well, that’s not just bragging or marketing - it's the reality of rankings.

Washington Monthly recently featured Rutgers-Newark as an institution that garners the “best bang for the buck” among national research universities. Cited for its ability to graduate low-income and underrepresented populations at a reasonable price, Washington Monthly also ranked Rutgers-Newark ninth among national research universities in “social mobility.”

The striking diversity of Rutgers-Newark’s student body creates a welcoming campus to students of every race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, and social and economic background. Not surprisingly, U.S. News & World Report has ranked Rutgers-Newark first in the country in the category of “Ethnic Diversity” among national universities for the 16^th year in a row since it first established the category. U.S. News & World Report also ranks Rutgers-Newark 115^th among national universities, making it second only to Rutgers-New Brunswick among public research universities in the state of New Jersey.

Rankings for the individual schools and graduate programs of Rutgers-Newark are equally impressive. Here’s what U.S. News & World Report, Washington Monthly, Princeton Review, The Wall Street Journal and others are saying about how Rutgers University, Newark, compares to other national universities in the U.S.

The magazine ranks Rutgers-Newark in the top 10 in two important categories:

• Second in the nation among national universities for “Best Bang for the Buck,” a category that shows “which schools get their students over the finish line at a reasonable price.”
• Eighth in the U.S. among national universities for “social mobility," a measure that Washington Monthly uses to “give colleges credit for enrolling many low-income students and helping them earn degrees.”
