Subject: [QSB-faculty] We are ranked!

For the first time, QSB appeared in US News and World Report ranked QSB in its best graduate programs in biological sciences.  We got a #175 of 235 based on a survey of individuals at peer institutions.  Lots of places are not ranked, so being ranked is very good.

https://news.ucmerced.edu/news/2018/grad-programs-make-us-news-rankings-debut


To put this in perspective, we rank somewhere below MIT,  Stanford and Berkeley, and somewhere above George Mason and Loma Linda.

Marjorie is proud!  Thanks everyone for doing great things.
