UIC recognized for student diversity, social mobility in U.S. News rankings
CHICAGO DEFENDER — The University of Illinois at Chicago was recognized for its commitment to diversity and the social mobility of its students in the annual “Best Colleges” rankings published today by U.S. News & World Report. UIC placed among the top 20 ethnically diverse national universities, as well as No. 14 in social mobility, a new category in the 2020 rankings. The social mobility ranking assesses the graduation rates of students who receive Pell Grants, which typically are given to students whose family incomes are less than $50,000 annually.
