The University of Maryland rose to No. 44 among national universities in 2025 rankings from U.S. News & World Report, its best-ever showing—and a 20-position leap since 2020.

#17

UMD also jumped two spots to No. 17 among public schools, its highest in over a decade, in the influential “Best Colleges” guide. The university now has a combined 71 top-25 undergraduate and graduate programs, according to U.S. News.

Improved graduation and retention rates, faculty salaries, student-to-faculty ratio, incoming student test scores and graduate earnings all led to the university’s record-high rating.
