U.S. News and World Report rankings help some students who may not have considered Michigan discover the excellence of our programs, but the attributes of which we are most proud are unquantifiable: our deep engagement with public scholarship; our supportive and passionate community of thinkers, learners, and leaders; and, of course, our shared commitment to diversity, inclusion, justice, and equity.”
