   How it compares

   In the United States, where there are 2,515 universities, UNI sits in a large and competitive higher-education landscape, but it stands out more for its broad set of majors than for scale. Its mid-sized enrollment of 9,204 students suggests a university that is smaller than many major research campuses while still offering a wide academic range.
