The University of Georgia is tied at 23rd with Tulane University and is the highest-ranked school from the state of Georgia and among the top five schools in the Southeast. This year U.S. News ranked the nation's business and engineering programs for the first time since 1996. And the fact that we continue to rise in the U.S. News undergraduate rankings is a sign of the momentum we're building at the University of Georgia. Our student quality is rising as fast as our enrollment, and that's a rare feat in higher education. Both the real estate and the insurance programs rank in the top five of their respective lists.
Real estate is ranked fifth and insurance is ranked fourth.
The students, faculty and alumni of both programs are a credit to the Terry College, and their national reputation is well-deserved.
