鈥淭hese recognitions represent the TU of today鈥攁 nationally-recognized leader in inclusive excellence, where all students can achieve,鈥� President Kim Schatzel says. 鈥淎nd the priorities we work toward each day and the investments we鈥檝e made in our faculty, in programming to support student success and in our world-class facilities mean that TU鈥檚 momentum is only growing stronger.鈥�
 
TU is the highest-ranking Maryland public university in the North list. TU also received recognition as a top performer in social mobility and for its excellent undergraduate business administration, computer science and nursing programs.
  
Among regional public 精东传媒, TU ranked No. 42 in social mobility, which looks at the number of Pell Grant recipients and compares their graduation rates to those of non-Pell Grant recipients at the university.
