The University of Akron is ranked #299-391 in the National Universities category by U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 rankings. It is also recognized for specific programs, such as engineering and business, which may have separate rankings. Globally, it does not appear in the top 500 of major rankings like QS or THE, reflecting its focus on regional and national impact rather than international prominence.
For more precise comparisons, prospective students should evaluate program-specific rankings, faculty expertise, and research opportunities aligned with their academic goals, as overall rankings may not fully represent institutional strengths.
