The University of Connecticut is back in the top 20 in this year's U.S. News & World Report college ranking, nudging its way back up to No. 19 among national public universities.
UConn President Susan Herbst, who frequently voices her determination to see UConn climb in the rankings, allows that the rankings are not "a perfect measure of university excellence."
"That said, this is without question the most impressive position on the U.S. News ranking that UConn has ever reached," Herbst said in written statement. "It confirms what many already know: that UConn is among the best universities in the nation, with a superb and growing academic reputation."
