The University of Wisconsin-Madison is among the top institutions in the country when it comes to public interest measured by media coverage, Internet traffic and social media mentions.
That's according to Global Language Monitor's newest Predictive Qualities Indicator -- a survey which uses word analysis to measure media "buzz" based on a university's appearance in a range of media.
The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor topped the charts and was followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, which was top-ranked the past two years. Rounding out the top 10 are: Columbia University; the University of Chicago; the University of California-Berkley; UW-Madison; Stanford University; the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; and Cornell University.
Other Big Ten Conference institutions in the top 25 include the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities at No. 16 and Ohio State University-Columbus at No. 20.
