At UCLA, we’re proud to be recognized as the nation’s #1 public university by U.S. News and World Report, for the fifth consecutive year. With so much recent success on display it’s worth asking, “why are we continually bestowed with such an honor?” The answer to this question can be found across campus and the world: our students, faculty, alumni and staff. It’s because of their excellence and dedication that we continue to light the way as #1UCLA.
