31.DUKE UNIVERSITY (.... 23rd in USA) (Durham,NC,USA)
Often called the Ivy League of the South, Duke University’s 14,600 students enjoy a first-class education in one corner of North Carolina’s famed “Research Triangle” (the other two corners being North Carolina State University at Raleigh and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
Duke is especially well known for its two most prestigious professional programs. The first is Duke’s medical program which includes the Duke University Health System, Medical School, Nursing School, and Duke Hospital, all working in partnership.
The second is the university’s well-rated law school, which consistently ranks among the top 10 in the country (and has never dropped out of the prestigious top 14).
Given these two areas of expertise, it is not surprisingly that Duke runs one of the world’s most sought-after dual J.D./M.D. programs.
The school also operates Duke University Press, which publishes about 120 new books each year and maintains 30 academic journals.
In addition, the school maintains 700 acres of undisturbed woods called Duke Forest, which serves as a natural laboratory.
