'U.S. News': Dartmouth Again No. 1 for Teaching, Top 10 Overall

For the fifth year in a row, Dartmouth earned the top spot for "Strong Commitment to Teaching" and remains in the top 10 among national universities in U.S. News & World Report’s "Best Colleges 2014" ranking.

This year, Dartmouth holds the No. 1 teaching spot exclusively among national universities cited for exceptional faculty commitment to undergraduate teaching. For the previous two years, Dartmouth and Princeton shared the first-place ranking.

“The rankings confirm what we know to be a genuine strength for Dartmouth—our faculty’s commitment to educating future leaders across all disciplines who are able to have a real impact on the world’s most pressing challenges. We will continue to innovate in our development of distinctive programs that build on this, our greatest asset,” says President Philip J. Hanlon ’77.
