The U.S. News & World Report’s 2009 college rankings are out, and Maryland schools performed pretty well.

Hopkins is 15th overall among national universities — no great surprise there. The University of Maryland at College Park came in at No. 53.

Maryland’s liberal arts colleges should be proud. In the Liberal Arts Rankings, we had: the U.S. Naval Academy, 22; St. Mary’s College of Maryland, 84; Washington College, 94; and Goucher, 111. I know my dad will be pleased for the state. “It’s important to have a good liberal arts education,” he always says.

Take a look at the various ranking categories and see where your alma mater fell. And be sure to use the info to start arguments throughout your office for the rest of the day.
