“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State ranks No. 4 in the United States and No. 51 overall among the top international institutions assessed by the 2024 Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings. These rankings aim to assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global goals adopted by all U.N. member states that look to improve life for all people and protect the planet.
This ranking places Penn State in the top 2.6% of higher education institutions worldwide. The rankings were much more competitive this year, with 1,963 institutions participating — an increase of more than 23% from last year.
According to THE, the rankings are calculated using calibrated indicators to provide comprehensive and balanced comparison across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching.
Penn State’s ranking is due in part to its breadth and depth of impactful research, including its strength as Pennsylvania’s land-, space-, sun- and sea-grant university.
"While universities across the world continue to increase their commitment to impact and sustainability, Penn State once again shows that it is a leading institution in this regard," said Sabine Klahr, interim vice provost for Penn State Global. "We are thrilled to see so many institutions engaged in this work and proud of the faculty, staff and students that empower the University to consistently contribute to addressing global challenges.””
