News & Announcements

We are thrilled to announce that the University of Maryland has once again been named one of the top 20 public universities in the nation, climbing to No. 16 in U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges rankings. We have also achieved our highest-ever overall ranking at No. 42, a remarkable rise of more than 22 spots since 2020.

Today marks a pivotal moment as we launch Forward: The University of Maryland Campaign for the Fearless—a $2.5 billion fundraising effort to achieve unprecedented transformation as a top 20 public research university.

As we prepare for a new academic year, we continue to be guided by the vision we’ve set forth to dedicate ourselves to the public good, which is ingrained in our work through our strategic plan, Fearlessly Forward: In Pursuit of Excellence and Impact for the Public Good.

We are pleased to share a new online resource for our undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and parents and families. The new mental health website is a collection of mental health and well-being resources available to our community on a variety of topics, including crisis support, counseling, academics, wellness and connection.
