For University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, which ranked 543rd in 2009 and now ranks 108th, it is the production of high-quality graduates who become leaders. Minnesota alumni include John Hammergren, CEO of McKesson Corporation, Mark Thierer, CEO of Catamaran, and Diana Murphy, the Circuit Judge of the US Court of Appeals’ Eighth Circuit. Minnesota also has a high retention rate, low debt burden, and high graduate salaries which sustain a strong environment for preparing students for their post-college lives.

Below is a list of the top ten risers since 2014 that have risen again this year:

University of Minnesota, Twin Cities up 435 ranks from 543rd in 2009 to 108th in 2014
Drake University up 408 ranks from 551st in 2009 to 143rd in 2014
Northeastern University up 382 ranks from 519th in 2009 to 211th in 2014
Yeshiva University up 334 ranks from 452 in 2009 to 118th in 2014
St. Louis University up 333 ranks from 524th in 2009 to 191st in 2014
University of Dayton up 324 ranks from 567th in 2009 to 243rd in 2014
Baylor University up 288 ranks from 483rd in 2009 to 195th in 2014

So in 2009 Forbes rated the U in the 400s in the U.S. Yeah, um, ok.
 

Good school moving toward being a great school? Nice to see.

Love it! Pitino doesn't waste any time.
 


Although such rankings are always suspect, it's better to be on the rise than on the decline. Good news is good news and kudos to Pitino for acknowledging it.

Go Gophers!
 

So too will the fortunes of Gopher football and basketball!

IMHO, winning in hockey, basketball, and football does matter more to the well being and prestige of the university more so than previous UMn administrations thought. Look around the B1G conference.
 

Looks like I was the reason for the turn around. You're welcome.


Seriously, why was it ranked so low in the first place?

I guess I will take the spin of the U being a university "On the rise", but, Forbes' ranking seems to have been unusually low compared to other lists - the U is in the list of "Public Ivies". Forbes mudt have different criteria.
