University of Montana Named America’s #1 University for Community and National Service

The report comes from Washington Monthly, a magazine of U.S. politics and government based in Washington, D.C., which also ranks four-year American colleges and universities as an alternative to U.S. News & World Report’s college rankings.

The publication lists UM as the No. 1 institution in the country for its “highest concentration of community and national service.” (On the right-hand column, hover and click the arrow next to “Service rank” for rankings).

The top ranking reflects UM’s deep commitment to civic service, a value that is embedded within UM’s institutional mission and broader public engagement.
