Stony Brook Again Ranks As One Of The Best Stony Brook University has again been ranked as one of the top universities in the nation, the fourth time over the last three months that it has been cited for its excellence by a major national or international organization or publication. The Center's Top American Research Universities (2004), an annual report issued by the Lombardi Program on Measuring University Performance, based at the University of Florida, rated universities based on how the institutions compared nationally in meeting a set of nine of measures. Stony Brook was one of only 86 universities that ranked in the top 50 nationally in at least one of nine measures. The report focused on the top 182 research universities, out of the more than 2,400 accredited institutions of higher education in the U.S. that award a baccalaureate degree.
The measures used by The Center in compiling the report were: total research expenditures, federal research expenditures, endowment assets, annual giving, national academy memberships by faculty, faculty awards, doctorates granted, and postdoctoral appointees. Figures were for 2002 or 2003. Harvard, MIT, and Stanford led the 53 institutions in the Top Research Universities who ranked in the top 25 nationally in at least one of the measures. In December, The Institute for Higher Education in Shanghai ranked Stony Brook among the top 150 universities in the world. In addition, the Times of London Higher Education Supplement, in a rating of the best sciences universities globally, ranked Stony Brook No. 76 in the world, 21st in the U.S. and 10th among U.S. public universities. In a general ranking released in November of the more than 8,300 universities worldwide, the Times of London ranked Stony Brook 136th, and in the top 50 in North America. It was ranked 33rd worldwide in research impact.
