SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Good news for the University of Santa Barbara... they like you... they really really like you!
According to Washington Monthly magazine in its September/October issue,
UC Santa Barbara has been ranked number 14 on a list of the Top 30 National Universities.
While U.S. News & World Report usually awards its highest ratings to private universities, the editors of Washington Monthly prefer to give public universities more credit, and higher rankings. Thirteen of the top 20 universities in the Washington Monthly rankings are taxpayer-funded. Some of U.S. News & World Report's top private universities are not even ranked among Washington Monthly's top 30.
The University of California dominated Washington Monthly's 2012 list, with UC San Diego taking the top spot, and UC Berkeley and UCLA ranking fifth and sixth, respectively. UC Riverside is ranked number 9, and UC Davis is ranked number 17.
