Earlier this fall, before the subject-area rankings were announced, UMBC was included in the broader 2020 THE World University Rankings. UMBC was named among the top 800 universities worldwide — #130 among U.S. universities on that global list.

In April, Times Higher Education also recognized UMBC as #3 as in the nation in achieving social and economic impact. Their University Impact Ranking measured how well universities deliver on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a blueprint for global peace and prosperity.
