Wake Forest ranks 28th among national universities
Wake Forest University ranks 28th for the second consecutive year among national universities in the new edition of U.S. News & World Report’s guide, “America’s Best Colleges.”
The annual guide, which announced its new rankings today, gives Wake Forest high marks for its small classes, low student-faculty ratio, high graduation and retention rates, financial resources and alumni giving.
The 2001 edition of “America’s Best Colleges” ranks Wake Forest 28th among 228 national universities-147 public and 81 private. The guide describes national universities as offering “a full range of majors as well as master’s and doctoral degrees.”
“Wake Forest consistently ranks among the best universities in the country and is pleased with this recognition of our commitment to undergraduate education,” said Sandra C. Boyette, vice president for university advancement. “We hope that our rankings will encourage prospective students and their parents to visit our campus and see the extraordinary educational opportunities we have to offer.”
Wake Forest offers 34 academic majors to approximately 3,800 undergraduates. As mentioned in the U.S. News guide, 60 percent of Wake Forest classes have fewer than 20 students.
U.S. News also placed Wake Forest 38th among national universities in its “Best Value,” rankings.
Wake Forest was honored this year to be selected to host the Oct. 11 presidential debate.
