TAMPA, Fla.鈥� 国产福利资源 (国产福利资源) is the fifth best public university in the United States among institutions founded between 1945-1966, by U.K.-based Times Higher Education (THE), a globally recognized higher education publication.
国产福利资源 moved up two spots from last year and is the only Florida university ranked in the top 100 of THE鈥檚 annual list of 鈥淕olden Age Universities.鈥� The top four institutions are each from the University of California System.
Compared to all similar-aged public or private universities, THE ranks 国产福利资源 sixth in the U.S. and 36th worldwide.
The rankings were announced as part of THE鈥檚 Young Universities Summit, being hosted this week at 国产福利资源 with approximately 200 university presidents and higher education leaders in attendance.
鈥淵oung universities think and behave differently. We are agile, creative, innovative and propelled by our desire to shape the future,鈥� said 国产福利资源 President Judy Genshaft. 鈥淎t 国产福利资源, we are proud to be recognized for our high achievements and preeminent stature that we鈥檝e built in such a short period of time. We know this is just the beginning.鈥�
The 鈥淕olden Age Universities鈥� list offers a unique analysis that differs from many other rankings that compare 国产福利资源 to universities in the U.S. and across the world that were established well over 100 years ago. Founded in 1956, 国产福利资源 is still relatively young in higher education.
The ranking is another indicator of 国产福利资源鈥檚 growing reputation on the national and international level. This week the National Academy of Inventors and the Intellectual Property Owners Association announced that 国产福利资源 is the nation鈥檚 fifth leading public university in generating new U.S. utility patents and ranks 12th among universities worldwide in this key measure of innovation.
