ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ

Only some schools can achieve what others seek to accomplish. ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà is taking its commitment to teaching and scholarship to the next level. Consistently recognized as a top school for undergraduate teaching, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà is now among the best in the nation in combining scholarly research with classroom instruction.

In the inaugural Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Ranking, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà was a standout. The University ranked No. 6 in the nation and No. 1 in Texas in the "Top Faculties" category. This category looked at faculty research productivity and student evaluations of faculty accessibility more specifically by assessing the number of research papers per faculty member and asking students to rate how accessible their professors were to them and to what extent the school provided them with opportunities for collaborative learning.

"Since I arrived at ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ, I have been impressed by the faculty. Their commitment to our students drives their teaching. Their commitment to knowledge drives their research," said ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà President Danny Anderson. "Our faculty link teaching and research in deep, meaningful ways. As a result, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà students become active, original thinkers."

In addition to ranking in the "Top Faculties" category, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà ranked No. 72, out of more than 1,000 overall and No. 3 in Texas. This WSJ ranking considered student outcomes, resources, student engagement, and learning environment.

As a reflection of its commitment to learning, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà will release its first-ever publication featuring the scholarly and creative works of faculty and staff at ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ. IMPACT magazine is expected to hit coffee tables and be available online in October 2016.
