The race to draw the best and brightest students has become an international one, with candidates weighing options not only in their state or country, but also across the globe. Universities likewise face fierce competition globally for top scientists and research funding. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) was ranked at the top 5% of universities in the world (No.
51 out of the top 1,000) in the U.S. News & World Report's 2024-2025 Best Global Universities for Clinical Medicine.
And it ranked in the top 12% on the publication's overall Best Global Universities list (No. 269 out of the top 2,250), based on 13 indicators that measure academic research performance and global and regional reputations. Notably, UT Health San Antonio was 12 th in the world for one of those indicators that measures the impact of its discoveries – a metric called "normalized citation impact" that compares the number of citations research receives per paper to the average for similar published work, a core measure of research impact.
Being ranked among the best in the world is a testament to the caliber of our research and the dedication of our faculty, students and staff. A global reputation allows us to attract diverse talent, foster international collaborations and address the most pressing health challenges across borders."
