Berkeley Ranks First in Environmental Sciences for Third Consecutive Year

The 2015 QS World University Rankings by Subject, released today, ranks UC Berkeley as first in Environmental Sciences! This status is consistent with Berkeley's number-one rankings by U.S. News & World Report this year, both for global universities in environment/ecology and for grad programs in ecology/evolutionary biology. QS uses data on academic reputation, employer reputation, and research impact in their yearly rankings of the world's top universities in a range of subject areas. A number of UC Berkeley departments and colleges working on environmental issues contribute to this top ranking. We are proud that ESPM's diverse research, education, and outreach played a significant role in achieving this honor. Related disciplines that were also highly ranked at Berkeley include Earth and Marine Sciences, Geography, and Agriculture and Forestry.
