Benefits of a Strong Reputation
A strong reputation has a number of benefits for the UW System, including:
- Increased student enrollment: Students are more likely to apply to and enroll in universities with strong reputations.
- Increased research funding: Universities with strong reputations are more likely to receive research funding from government agencies and private foundations.
- Increased alumni support: Alumni are more likely to donate to universities with strong reputations.
The Role of Rankings in Student Decision-Making
Rankings play a significant role in student decision-making. Students often use rankings to compare different universities and make decisions about where to apply and enroll.
Rankings can also help students identify universities that are a good fit for their academic interests and career goals. For example, students who are interested in research may want to consider universities with strong research programs.
