UWM was ranked<\/a> No. 667 out of 21,462 universities considered worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Center for World University Rankings uses seven outcome-based indicators to compile its list. Half of a university\u2019s ranking score is determined by the academic and professional success of its alumni. The rest is determined by the quality and quantity of the university\u2019s research output and the academic distinctions of its faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to alumni surveys, 97% of UWM graduates are working or continuing their education within six months of earning their degree, and the average salary of a UWM graduate is more than $64,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UWM is ranked among the nation\u2019s top 187 research universities by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, and totaled $66.3 million in research expenditures in fiscal year 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Center for World University Rankings is a consulting organization that provides policy advice, strategic insights and consulting services to governments and universities to improve educational and research outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
