UAB Soars into Top 6% of Global Universities in US News Rankings
https://www.birminghamtimes.com/2025/01/...-rankings/

Quote:The University of Alabama at Birmingham has achieved a remarkable milestone, blazing into the top 6 percent of global universities in the latest U.S. News & World Report international rankings.

The 2024-2025 Best Global Universities rankings from U.S. News & World Report named UAB No. 164 out of 2,459 schools, making it the highest ranked school in Alabama. This ranking surpasses UAB’s previous rankings of top 10 percent in 2021 and top 8 percent in 2022.

UAB’s continued ascent among the top 10 percent in these rankings—a four percentage point gain over four years—speaks to the world-class caliber of research and scholarship being conducted by our faculty, staff and students all around campus,” said UAB President Ray Watts.

Watts is great with the medical side of campus, but I wish he gave a damn about the other side.

It's not a measure of the university as a whole. The metrics are weighted to highlight research and publications.

Quote:Out of the 297 schools ranked in the United States, UAB is No. 57, or in the top 19 percent of American universities.

Not a single non-medical discipline ranked, and you're 100% right, the methodology here is based on papers published, research dollars, and citations

All important criteria, and I'm glad as hell UAB ranks highly but don't think for a second Ray Ray has gotten UAB up there with Stanford or Georgia Tech. The same stagnation is still there. Fire Ray Watts. As a graduate of the School of Business, and a cardiac patient of the health system I want the whole thing to be elite.
