The University of Houston continues to build momentum as one of the nation\u2019s leading
\n public research universities, with a trio of new global rankings highlighting the
\n University\u2019s growing influence in research, innovation and academic excellence.<\/p>\n

In the latest U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities rankings, UH ranked No. 52<\/a> among public research universities nationwide and No. 91 among all U.S. institutions.
\n The Center for World University Rankings also placed UH No. 45<\/a> among public research institutions in the nation and among the top 1.3% of more than
\n 21,000 universities worldwide.<\/p>\n

Together with UH’s recent rise in the QS World University Rankings<\/a> \u2014 where the University climbed six spots to its highest ranking in a decade and ranked
\n fourth among Texas universities, trailing only University of Texas at Austin, Texas
\n A&M University and Rice University \u2014 these recognitions underscore the University’s
\n expanding impact on the global stage.<\/p>\n

“The University of Houston has long been a world-class university, and with research
\n impacting communities across the globe and our scholars working worldwide, our international
\n profile continues to grow,” said Diane Z. Chase, UH senior vice president for academic
\n affairs and provost.<\/p>\n

“These rankings further demonstrate that UH’s academic presence extends far beyond
\n Houston. We are pleased to be recognized as a top global institution and will continue
\n expanding our reach through research, education and partnerships that create positive
\n change in Texas and around the world.”<\/p>\n

In U.S. News\u2019 most recent \u201cBest Colleges\u201d rankings, UH improved six spots to No. 68<\/a> among public universities, marking another step toward its long-term goal of becoming
\n a Top 50 public university. UH also ranked No. 40 in \u201cTop Performers in Social Mobility\u201d
\n and No. 48 among \u201cMost Innovative Schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, UH placed 19 graduate programs in the Top 50<\/a> of this year\u2019s U.S. News rankings of the top graduate programs in the U.S. \u2014 up from
\n 15 the previous year \u2014 with four programs, including three at the UH Law Center, ranked
\n among the Top 10 nationally. Overall, 48 programs placed in the Top 100, reflecting
\n continued momentum across the University.<\/p>\n

\u201cA strong position in the Best Global Universities rankings recognizes a school\u2019s
\n profound commitment to world-class research and cross-border academic excellence,\u201d
\n said LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor for education at U.S. News. \u201cThese rankings
\n reveal institutions that are at the forefront of global scholarship and innovation,
\n serving as a launching pad for future generations of leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although each ranking uses a different methodology, all three measure key indicators
\n of university excellence. U.S. News focuses on research reputation and performance;
\n QS evaluates academic reputation, employer outcomes, research impact and international
\n engagement; and the Center for World University Rankings relies on objective, outcome-based
\n measures of education, employability, faculty achievement and research performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of Houston continues to build momentum as one of the nation\u2019s leading public research universities, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-347496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
