30.UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA (.... 22nd in USA) (Minneapolis-St.Paul,MN,USA)
The University of Minnesota has more people than most armies in history had soldiers. With just under 70,000 students, 25,000 faculty administering instruction, and an alumni network of over 400,000, Minnesota’s web of influence has encircled the globe.
The school now impacts Minnesota’s economy to the tune of $8.6 billion annually.
This combination of massive financial resources and legions of brilliant minds is why Minnesota has no less than 325 research centers and institutes, giving students the opportunity to pursue their passions no matter where they lead.
The university, whose flagship campus is located in the “Twin Cities” of Minneapolis-St. Paul, has developed an especially successful medical research program through its children’s hospital and biomedical library.
Typically, one would expect a school of Minnesota’s size and prominence to be driven by publications and patents.
However, in spite of its size the university has maintained a compassionate touch. In addition to its children’s hospital, the school also runs an extremely successful education program for students in grades K–12.
This allows future educators, parents, and children to learn about learning while learning about everything else.
As a result, Minnesota stands at the forefront of education research.
