USF Tops in Diversity, International Flair
For the second year in a row, the University of San Francisco ranked among the top 20 most diverse U.S. universities on this year’s U.S. News & World Report rankings of American colleges and universities. USF also scored within the top eight percent of schools with the largest international student populations.
More than 50 percent of this year’s freshman class are students of color, topping the previous year’s high of 47 percent.
“One of the advantages at USF is the range of perspectives that our diverse student body brings to our community,” said James Wiser, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “It is a quality that we seek and it is something about which we are very proud.”Also for the second year in a row, USF ranked overall in the second tier of national universities. The report, which appeared in the Sept. 10 issue, grades universities and colleges according to their overall score on a number of academic- and support-related categories. Academic reputation as well as graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, and percent of classes with less than 20 students are surveyed. The report does not numerically rank schools in the second tier, which includes numbers 53 through 130.
