UW Immunology Ranked #4 Globally!

The UW Department of Immunology ranked #4 globally according to the latest U.S. News & World Report’s Best Global Universities rankings. The University of Washington rose from #7 to #6 in the rankings, and maintained its #2 ranking among U.S. public institutions.

“As a global public research university, the UW’s mission is to create and accelerate change for the public good,” UW President Ana Mari Cauce said. “I’m proud that these rankings reflect the outstanding and wide-ranging work of our faculty, staff and students to expand knowledge and discovery that is changing people’s lives for the better, particularly in the health sciences.”

The U.S. News ranking methodology —  based on Web of Science data and metrics provided by Clarivate Analytics InCites — weighs factors that measure a university’s global and regional research reputation and academic research performance. For the overall rankings, this includes bibliometric indicators such as publications, citations and international collaboration.

The overall Best Global Universities ranking, now in its ninth year, encompasses the top 2,000 institutions spread across 90 countries, according to U.S. News. American universities make up eight of the top 10 spots.
