This ranking is a first for the Level VI SACS-accredited institution, located an hour west of Atlanta, GA, which just this July conferred its first Ph.D. degree in Psychology, adding to its already robust doctoral degree programs.
“We are very pleased that the latest U.S. News rankings place UWG among the best regional universities and the best public universities in the South,” said Dr. Beheruz N. Sethna, president of UWG. “It is a just tribute to the wonderful credentials and work of our excellent faculty and staff, and worthy recognition for our wonderful students. I am confident that UWG will continue its journey onward and upward.”
U.S. News & World Report also included UWG in its nation-wide “Best Grad School Rankings,” which highlighted UWG as the #161 “Best Education School” and its Nursing program #357. UWG also ranked #309 nationally in “Best Undergraduate Business Programs.”
This announcement falls on the heels of UWG’s Dr. Greg Dixon, associate professor of political science, being ranked #12 in the nation by RateMyProfessor.com.
