<p>I believe UMD is even top 10 on that list when considering public Universities.</p>

<p>Not counting LAC, UMD is #34!</p>

<p>The authors’ 2004 study placed UMD #47 (#9 public).</p>

<p>According to the Academic Ranking of World Universities, Maryland is number 29 overall in the US, number 38th in the world!!</p>
