Washington Monthly magazine has ranked the University of Wisconsin-Madison best in the country for research and 12th overall nationwide. The magazine computed its research score by looking at each university’s research spending as well as the number of doctorates awarded in the sciences and engineering.
Other factors in the overall score were “social mobility” (commitment to admitting and graduating lower-income students) and “community service” (measured by numbers of students in ROTC, the Peace Corps and use of work-study grants for community service projects).
