Other UW subjects in the top 10 include oceanography at No. 2; public health at No. 4; biological sciences, dentistry and oral sciences, education, and library and information
sciences at No. 7; and clinical medicine at No. 10.
“The research produced by University of Washington faculty, staff and students is critical to understanding and addressing global challenges, from climate change to human

recognized by this prestigious organization.”
The group ranked more than 5,000 universities around the world in 54 subjects across natural sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences and social sciences. More
