Among the top 25 national universities included in the ranking, UCLA excelled in the “social mobility” category. This category evaluates the academic success of different student groups, particularly those who are first-generation and from low-income backgrounds.
UCLA proudly reports that these students graduate at rates comparable to the overall graduation rate, which exceeds 90 percent.
The U.S. News and World Report determines its national rankings based on various factors, including the academic quality of students, graduation rates, student-to-faculty ratios, social mobility, and academic reputation. The academic reputation is determined through a peer assessment survey of college presidents, provosts, and deans of admissions.
In addition to its top rankings, UCLA also highlights that a majority of students complete their education without incurring debt.
“UCLA opens the doors of opportunity to tens of thousands of students each year and remains one of our state’s greatest economic engines,” said Mr. Block.
The factors that contributed to UCLA’s top ranking include its exceptional services for U.S. veterans, housing system, research programs, and graduation rates.
Regarding veteran services, UCLA currently enrolls over 1,000 military-based students, including veterans, spouses, and military dependents. The university offers a Veteran Resource Center that provides academic support, counseling, and career development.
“I was not surprised to hear that UCLA was ranked so highly,” said Tyrus Korecki, a UCLA graduate student and Air Force combat veteran.
“The Veteran Resource Center has a first-of-its-kind mentorship program in which students get hands-on experience in research in STEM-focused fields. Programs such as this make UCLA an excellent place for student veterans to grow and develop after their military service.”
