ACU in the news
Two recent rankings of American universities recognize Abilene Christian University as an outstanding institution:
First, U.S. News & World Report lists ACU as the #1 “Up and Coming” school in the West Region (the very fact that Texas is considered ‘West’ shows the immense size of this region). The study also puts us at #19 overall in the region, and #12 in the “Great schools at great prices”.
Second, Forbes Magazine ranks ACU in the top 7% of America’s Best Colleges. In their consideration of 6,600 accredited post-secondary institutions in the U.S., they place ACU at #484 placing us “among the best in the country”.
While the methodologies are highly subjective, I would like to think that our department’s unique research program makes a big difference in national rankings such as these. However, our real reputation doesn’t come from magazines, but from the people who have passed through the physics department over the years. Keep up the good work.
