UW-Madison took second place among public universities on Time Magazine’s list of World’s Top Universities, UW officials said Tuesday.
The school took spot #20 for the overall worldwide list.
The rankings, generated by Statista, focused on academic capacity and performance, innovation and economic impact, and global engagement.
“UW–Madison’s value lies not just in our direct teaching and research, but also in the impact our graduates have when they go out into the world and our contributions in advancing knowledge across the globe,” says UW interim Provost John Zumbrunnen. “It’s encouraging to see this value acknowledged in the Time rankings.”
