University of Detroit Mercy hits top tier in America's Best Colleges rankings

Eight years running. That’s how long the University of Detroit Mercy has been ranked in the "top tier" of the America's Best Colleges rankings from U.S. News and World Report.

This year is no different as the Detroit-based Jesuit Catholic university notched a place in the magazine's 2009 edition.

UDM made the Top 25 in the Midwestern Master's Universities, making it the highest ranking school from the state in its category. It also hit second in the rankings for "Economic Diversity Among Top-Ranked Schools," ninth in racial diversity and 41st in economic diversity.
