We are about to head out to Boston for the annual conference of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC), and one of the most exciting features of the conference is the presentation of undergraduate research by honors students from across the nation. So this is a good time to list the most recent U.S. News listings of the best major public universities for undergraduate research, an area in which most public honors programs excel.
The number of public flagship institutions on the list doubled over last year to include 10 in the current list.
The magazine lists 50 universities based on a national survey of 1,500 college presidents, deans, and chief academic officers. The magazine lists the schools alphabetically, and below are the leading public institutions that made the list:
- Arizona
- Michigan
- Nebraska
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Virginia Tech
- UC Berkeley
- UCLA
- Washington
- Wisconsin
Special congratulations to Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, UC Berkeley, and Wisconsin for making the list two years in a row!
