Each year 'US News and World Report' releases its annual list of best colleges in the country, the latest 2022-2023 rankings are out, let's see how UMD and UWS faired.

Let's start with the biggest of the two, the University of Minnesota Duluth was ranked 33rd in the Regional Universities Midwest list, it was a 4-way tie for that spot, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Lawrence Technological University, Carthage College, all share that 33rd spot.

UMD also is the 6th in the Top Public Schools category, the 14th best college for Veterans, and was ranked #46 in the Best Value Schools list. The rankings also give some other valuable information like class size, 42.2% of UMD classes have fewer than 20 students and the student-faculty ratio is 16:1. The average median starting salary of UMD alumni is $52,300. Overall, UMD was ranked 67/100.
