”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State rose 22 places to tie for No. 100 in the world in the 2025 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, released Oct. 8, placing the University in the top 5% globally among 2,092 ranked institutions. In addition, Penn State rose four places to No. 38 among all U.S. universities and ranked No. 17 among U.S. public institutions. Penn State was the top-ranked public university in Pennsylvania.

“Times Higher Education is one of the most highly regarded indicators of excellence for universities around the world,” said Sabine Klahr, interim vice provost for Penn State Global. “International students, parents, alumni, sponsors and partners use global rankings as one of the primary measures of Penn State’s strength as a world-class academic and research institution. Returning to the global top 100 demonstrates that the institution’s excellence continues to be recognized around the world. This is a testament to our faculty who conduct extraordinary research to address the critical challenges the world faces today, while demonstrating excellence in teaching and mentoring our students.”

Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings are considered one of the three most respected international university ranking systems, along with the QS World University Rankings and the Academic Ranking of World Universities. For this ranking, THE evaluates research-intensive universities around the globe, growing from 200 universities in 2004 to 2,092 ranked institutions in 2025 — an increase of 185 universities compared to 2024.”

Nice to see UVA at 163, Dartmouth at 168, and Notre Dame at 196. Kinda funny that WVU is listed as "Reporter" but no ranking and if you filter on schools in the US it is last on the list.

It's always good to kick an IVY as badly as we did on this listing.

Just one - he was a track athlete.

If he starts giving you shlt, just tell him that both almae matres are better than Dartmouth. That ought to stop him dead in hiss tracks.

Gotta love Wake Forest at 401 - 500 and Lehigh at 601 - 800.

Well. I live in South Bend, tailgate and attend about half the homes games every year, and have multiple friends who are ND professors. Sent my oldest to IU. Have a few friends who graduated from UVa.

If I want my kid to have a better chance at ending up an insufferable ******* who cares more about money and status than being a good person, I’m probably sending them to an Ivy or UVa.

If I want them to end up as a normal functioning adult with a halfway decent set of values, I’m fine with almost any state school.

But to each their own I guess.

But, “What’s your net worth?”

This is what you’re up against.

Right on the nose.

Now that’s not to say that state schools don’t have the same douchebags that those other schools do too. I’ve been to IU enough times to be able to pick out the Carmel parents pretty easily. But taken as a whole, you’re going to get more normal people from state schools.

So the football team outranks the university. Fire Neeli and the Board of Trustees!!!!
