UC Berkeley has been recognized as the best public university globally, securing the No. 6 position in the recent U.S. News rankings. UCLA, its top in-state rival, responded with a Facebook post asserting it remains the No. 1 public university in the U.S. for national rankings. While UC Berkeley excels in global academic standing, UCLA holds the 13th spot internationally, reflecting nuanced distinctions in ranking methodologies. Both universities showcase strong academic research, with UC Berkeley noted for significant contributions, including the discovery of new periodic table elements.
"Still #1, and still redefining legendary," the UCLA Facebook post read.
The global rankings, which typically come out in early summer, use a different methodology than the national list, a spokesperson for U.S. News confirmed with SFGATE.
