In the newly released 2019 US News & World Report rankings of colleges and universities, Penn is once again ranked eighth overall (tied with Duke) among national universities.

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has retained its #1 post as the best undergraduate business program in the country, which it has held for many years. It ranked #1 in two specialties: finance and real estate; #2 in management and marketing; #3 in production/operations management and quantitative analysis; and #5 in accounting, insurance and international business.

Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science was listed #24 (tied with Harvard, Penn State-University Park, University of Maryland-College Park, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and University of Southern California) for engineering schools whose highest degree is a doctorate, with a #10 ranking in the biomedical engineering program specialty.

Penn made the list of national universities with the largest proportion of international undergraduate students in the 2017-2018 academic year with 13 percent, as well as the list of undergraduates receiving federal Pell grants, which is an indicator of economic diversity, at 15 percent.
