UC Davis Recognized for Commitments to Doing Good
Rankings Weigh Social Mobility, Public Service, Research
"Commitments to social mobility, public service and research have earned the University of California, Davis, the No. 8 spot among public universities and No. 21 among all 442 national universities in the Washington Monthly 2023 College Rankings released today (Aug. 28).
UC Davis was also recognized as 22nd among the Best Bang for the Buck Western Colleges.
Among public universities in the national universities category, UC Davis was in good company with sister campuses: No. 1 UC Berkeley, No. 4 UCLA and No. 7 UC San Diego.
The rankings have three equally weighted categories: social mobility, research, and community and national service. “This means that top-ranked colleges needed to be excellent across the full breadth of our measures, rather than excelling in just one measure,” the editors wrote in an explanation of the methodology."
