Overall University Rankings by USN&WR in 2024

Clemson is #86 … out of 439 on the list.

When Jim Barker stepped aside I recall a Clemson ranking (heard) of 21. Surely things have not gone down that much with President Clements. I am thinking that that #21 was among a smaller group of colleges … like only those financed by taxes maybe. Please jump in here with some info … anyone.

BTW, this ranking of 439 shows us ahead of only Louisville and SMU in the ACC. In the SEC we are ahead of all except Georgia, Florida, Vanderbilt, Texas and Texas A&M … South Carolina is 123 or so. In the Big Ten we are ahead of Oregon, Nebraska and Iowa … going from memory here, I did not make a list.

Perusing these rankings gives me pause. My every annual gift has been directed to the Cooper Library and always will be, but I never considered that our status was as low as these numbers indicate.

Second BTW, and a bit of humor. In 1990 or so the word was that when Arkansas left the SWC and joined the SEC the academic standing of both conferences improved. Without exhaustive examination, I can say that that statement is likely to be correct.

The low 20s ranking was for public universities. The goal was to be top 20 by USNews rankings.

Thanks and yes, that sounds more reasonable; hard to imagine dropping from 21 to 86.
