The University of North Dakota has once again been named one of the best national universities by U.S. News & World Report. The magazine, in its "America's Best Colleges, 2010 Edition," puts UND among the nation's top 200 public and nonpublic colleges and universities. The ranking looks at what U.S. News & World Report identifies as the top 262 American universities that offer a wide range of undergraduate majors as well as master's and doctoral degrees. The magazine puts the schools in four tiers; UND is ranked in the third tier.
UND leaders traditionally have downplayed the significance of the rankings, saying they simply serve as one kind of indicator of the University's status in its goal to establish UND as one of the best public universities in the world.
UND also regularly appears in The Princeton Review's list of "Top 371 Universities in the Nation." Also, Washington Monthly has listed UND as one of the top 100 public universities in the United States.
Reflecting its dedication to innovative, creative and entrepreneurial teaching and learning, UND the past two years has been ranked as one of the top most entrepreneurial schools in the country last year by Entrepreneur Magazine. The UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences is the top medical school in the country this year for producing family medicine physicians, according to rankings released this year by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). UND consistently ranks among the top medical schools in the country in this category.
