\"Hilo<\/p>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> has been recognized as one of the top 300 universities in America. There are more than 4,200 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the United States. The four-year university earned a 181–190 spot on a national list just released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS<\/abbr>), the globe\u2019s most-consulted rankings resource. The first edition list, QS<\/abbr> World University Rankings: USA<\/abbr><\/a> focused on diversity, employability and internationalization. <\/p>\n

“At UH<\/abbr> Hilo we make every effort to ensure that our international students can pursue their academic and personal goals in a welcoming and supportive environment,” said UH<\/abbr> Hilo Chancellor Bonnie Irwin<\/strong>. “We are honored to have achieved this ranking which testifies to the success of these efforts in support of students.”<\/p>\n

Universities are ranked based upon research performance, career outcomes including a range of indicators that assess an institution\u2019s social impact and attempts to foster equitability. QS<\/abbr> assessed factors such as faculty gender diversity and a ratio of undergraduate students receiving Federal Pell Grants.<\/p>\n

QS<\/abbr> is hopeful the list will provide much-needed prospective for students as they prepare for unchartered territory on their educational journey. Universities and colleges around the world are bracing for unforeseen impacts as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. According to QS<\/abbr>, ongoing research reveals students are committed to pursuing their education and career goals. <\/p>\n
