UMBC ties Stanford in college ranking
State employers continue to have access to one of the brightest workforces in the nation. US News and World Report last month released rankings for its annual “America’s Best Colleges and Best Graduate Schools” editions and the University of Maryland Baltimore County now ranks first among up-and-coming national universities and is tied with Stanford for fourth most committed university to undergraduate teaching.

The U.S. Naval Academy and St. Mary’s College of Maryland also did well, ranking second and fourth respectively among top public liberal arts colleges in the nation. State stalwarts Johns Hopkins University and University of Maryland College Park rank 14th and 18th overall respectively, for top national universities that offer doctoral degrees.
