1.Baylor College of Medicine：http://www.bcm.edu/
Today U.S. News & World Report released their annual list of top graduate schools in business, education, engineering, law, medicine, and social sciences and humanities. I am pleased to announce that BCM maintained its position of number 13 among research-intensive medical schools and was also ranked number 22 among primary care-focused medical schools.
We can all take great pride in these rankings which are based on medical student GPA and MCAT scores, faculty to student ratio, NIH funding and total number of NIH grants. Peer assessment surveys are also sent to U.S. Medical School Deans and Residency Program Directors asking them to rank the program quality at each U.S. medical school on a scale of 1 to 5. The results of these surveys lead to a "reputation” score of each school. The magazine also selects outstanding medical school programs in a number of specialties. This year, BCM was ranked number 5 in pediatrics. There is no doubt that this is the result of not only outstanding faculty in the Department of Pediatrics, but also our strong partnerships with Texas Children's Hospital and Ben Taub General Hospital, where our faculty treat pediatric patients and our students and residents are trained.
2. University of Kentucky：http://www.uky.edu/
Founded in 1865, the University of Kentucky has nearly 150 years of commitment to academic excellence, scholarly exploration and research, community outreach and engagement and a mission of becoming one of America's Top 20 public research institutions.
3. University of Ulm http://www.uni-ulm.de
She was founded as a university of medicine and natural sciences in 1967. It is the newest university in Baden-Wuerttemberg and an important link to the research-oriented Science City of Ulm. There are currently around 7.200 students at the University, spread out over four faculties.
4.Pusan University http://www.bu.edu/
Boston University is one of the leading private research and teaching institutions in the world today, with two primary campuses in the heart of Boston and programs around the world.
Boston University was chartered in 1869 by Lee Claflin, Jacob Sleeper, and Isaac Rich, three successful Methodist businessmen whose abolitionist ideals led them to envision and create a university that was inclusive―that opened its doors to the world―and engaged in service to and collaboration with the city of Boston
5.Sungkyunkwan University http://eng.skku.edu/
Sungkyunkwan is synonymous with both tradition and innovation in education. The literal meaning of the University's name is 'an institution for building a harmonious society' of perfected human beings. The founding philosophy of Old Sungkyunkwan is needed as much as ever today, in an era of technological advancement that seems devoid of humanity. The University's faculty of more than 1,000 are committed to quality teaching and research, offering students a challenging environment for intellectual and personal growth.
Old Sungkyunkwan was founded over 600 years ago by royal decree to promote the scholarship in Confucianism. As a nation's highest educational institution, Old Sungkyunkwan went through vicissitudes with the country it served over the centuries. It would be misleading, however, to view the University merely in the context of its premodern history. What the University has achieved in the past fifty years meets and exceeds that of the five hundred years preceding our current century.
6.Yansei University http://www.yonsei.ac.kr
As the oldest private university in Korea, Yonsei University was first established in 1885 by Christian missionaries.

8.The University of British Columbia http://www.ubc.ca/
The University is approaching the centenary of the granting of her charter in 1908, an anniversary that prompts us to take account of what we have accomplished and what we can do in the years ahead.
In the century, UBC has grown into one of Canada's finest universities, one that in so short a time already ranks among the world's 40 best. Measured by any criterion-the intellectual caliber of our students, the quality of faculty teaching and research, the professionalism of our staff-UBC is an outstanding university, and plays a vital role in the cultural, social, and economic development of our region and our country.
In recent years UBC has seen dramatic changes. Enrolment has grown from 31,000 students in 1995-96 to more than 45,000 today, with a corresponding expansion of UBC Vancouver's academic core, including new buildings dedicated to science and engineering, forestry, the health sciences, and the library. A University Town is emerging on our campus, bringing lively residential, social and cultural diversity to a more complete community.
