Rutgers University is a prominent public research institution in the United States, but it does not have a standalone ‘country ranking’ as nations are not typically ranked academically. Instead, Rutgers is ranked among global universities. According to the 2023 U.S. News & World Report, it places #55 in National Universities. Internationally, QS World University Rankings 2024 positions Rutgers at #298 worldwide.
Its reputation stems from strong programs in philosophy, mathematics, and public health. Rankings vary by criteria—such as research output, faculty quality, or student satisfaction—so prospective students should prioritize factors aligning with their academic goals.
