<p>Plumazul,</p>
<p>Thank you for bringing this up. It is very impressive. I have a hunch the University will continue to rise up in the rankings on all ranking services. </p>
<p>Maryland is putting <em>a lot</em> of money into the sciences/business programs here. </p>
<p>[Physical</a> Sciences Complex | Joint Quantum Institute](<a href=“http://jqi.umd.edu/news/physical-sciences-complex]Physical”>Physical Sciences Complex) - $120 million Physical Science Complex to be completed by the end of 2013. </p>
<p>[UM</a> Physics Rankings](<a href=“http://www.physics.umd.edu/aboutus/rankings.html]UM”>UM Physics Rankings) As of 2009, the physics program was already well respected nationally. This state of the art building should further entice aspiring physics students to attend the University. (Graduate level?)</p>
<p>Also for the students that are underclassmen in high school, they have the new Bio-medical Engineering building to look forward to. </p>
<p>[Construction</a> to begin on $125.6 million bioengineering building in June 2015 - The Diamondback : News: university of maryland, physical sciences complex, fischell, bioengineering, facilities management](<a href=“http://www.diamondbackonline.com/news/article_7250ccbe-1365-11e2-9312-0019bb30f31a.html]Construction”>http://www.diamondbackonline.com/news/article_7250ccbe-1365-11e2-9312-0019bb30f31a.html) - $126 Million project to begin in 2015.</p>
<p>This all leads me to believe Maryland’s ascent to one of the top Public Research University’s in the country is just beginning.</p>
