For the first time in its history, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has moved into the top 10 in the Top Public Universities Midwest–Master’s category, according to the annual U.S. News and World Report rankings released today.
SIUE moved up nine positions in the Midwest–Master’s rankings, among public and private universities, since last year. There is no Illinois public university ranked higher than SIUE in that category. The overall scores are based on several criteria including a peer assessment by university administrators who this year gave SIUE the highest score in its category of any Illinois public institution.
SIUE Chancellor Vaughn Vandegrift said he was “extremely pleased” with the new rankings. “A committed faculty of teacher/scholars, strong programs and staff support, combined with a shared sense of community, make for a great educational experience at SIUE,” Vandegrift said.
“The ‘e’ continues its momentum as we look forward next month to starting our year-long 50th Anniversary celebration and as we begin the next half-century.”
In addition, SIUE was heralded by U.S. News for a third consecutive year in the senior capstone experience category, among 13 elite universities — including Harvard, MIT, Brown, Duke and Princeton — for its comprehensive programs measuring the competency of graduating seniors.
