The American Mathematical Society ranks our program among the 56 Group 2 departments, behind the 25 public and 23 private Group 1 departments. Details on the AMS ranking.
Specifically, the AMS put us in the “Math Public Small” category, together with (to mention our geographical neighbors in that category) UC Santa Cruz, UC Riverside, Oregon State, and Washington State.
