COURTESY OF STEFAN4 VIA WIKIMEDIA U.S. News relies on a variety of statistics to determine rankings.

The University was once again ranked 10th among national universities in the U.S. News & World Report released on Tuesday, trailing behind Unniversity of Pennsylvania and Duke University.

Additionally, the University was ranked fifth by U.S. high school counselors, falling from third last year.

In the list of Best Value Schools, Hopkins earned 20th, which was the same as last year’s ranking.

In terms of academics, the University’s biomedical engineering program has fallen to second place behind Georgia Tech.

Meanwhile, the environmental engineering program at Hopkins is tied in seventh place with the University of Texas at Austin.

U.S. News ranks colleges and universities by first categorizing them through their missions (research university or liberal arts college) and then their locations.

Additionally, the judging process considers a variety of statistics such as admissions, faculty resources, financial resources and assessments of peer institutions to determine the final rankings.
