College and universit rankings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
College and universit rankings are lists of institutions in higher education, ordered by combinations of factors. In
addition to entire institutions, specific programs, departments, and schools are ranked. Rankings are conducted by
magazines, newspapers, governments and academics.
Various rankings consider measures of research excellence and/or influence, student choices, eventual success and/or
demographics, on surveys, and others. Some rankings evaluate institutions within a single country, while others assess
institutions worldwide. The subject has produced much debate about rankings' usefulness and accuracy. The
expanding diversity in rating methodologies and accompanying criticisms of each indicate the lack of consensus in the
field.
Rankings are often consulted by prospective students in the university and college admissions process.

G-factor
G-factor
G-factor ranks university and college web presence by counting the number of links only from other university
websites, using Google search engine data. G-factor is an indicator of the popularity or importance of each university's
website from the combined perspectives of other institutions. It claims to be an objective peer review of a university
through its websitein social network theory terminology, G-factor measures the centrality of each university's
website in the network of university websites.
[6]
Global University Ranking
Global University Ranking measures over 400 universities using the RatER, an autonomous, non-commercial, Russian
rating agency supported by Russia's academic society.
[7][8]
The methodology pools universities from ARWU,
HEEACT, Times-QS and Webometrics and a pool of experts formed by project officials and managers to determine the
rating scales for indicators in seven areas. It considers academic performance, research performance, faculty expertise,
resource availability, socially significant activities of graduates, international activities, and international opinion. Each
expert independently evaluates these performance indicators for candidate universities. The rating is the average of the
expert evaluations.
[9]
This ranking raised questions when it placed Moscow State University in fifth place, ahead of
Harvard and Cambridge.
[10]
HEEACTRanking of Scientific Papers
Main article: HEEACT Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities
The Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities is produced by the Higher Education Evaluation
and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT).
[11]
HEEACT is designed to assess research universities. The
indicators are designed to measure both long-term and short-term research performance.
This project employs bibliometrics to analyze and rank the performance of the 500 top universities and the top 300
universities in six fields. HEEACT further provides subject rankings in science and technology fields. It also rank the
top 300 universities across ten science and technology fields.
[12]
The ranking includes eight indicators. They are:
articles published over prior 11 years; citations of those articles, "current" articles, current citations, average citations,
"H-index", number of "highlycited papers" and high impact journal articles. They represent three criteria of scientific
papers performance: research productivity, research impact, and research excellence.
The 2007 ranking methodology was alleged to have favored universities with medical schools, and in response,
HEEACT added assessment criteria.
[13]
The six fieldbased rankings are based on the subject categorization of WOS,
including Agriculture & Environment Sciences (AGE), Clinical Medicine (MED), Engineering, Computing &
Technology (ENG), Life Sciences (LIFE), Natural Sciences (SCI) and Social Sciences (SOC). The ten subjects include
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geosciences, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering,
Chemical Engineering (including Energy & Fuels), Materials Sciences, and Civil Engineering (including Environmental
Engineering).
[12]
High Impact Universities: Research Performance Index
Main article: High Impact Universities
The High Impact Universities Research Performance Index (RPI) is a 2010 Australian initiative
[14]
that studies
university research performance. The pilot project involved a trial of over 1,000 universities or institutions and 5,000
constituent faculties (in various disciplines) worldwide. The top 500 results for universities and faculties were reported
at the project website.
[14]
The project promotes simplicity, transparency and fairness. The assessment analyzes research
performance as measured by publications and citations. Publication and citation data is drawn from Scopus. The
project uses standard bibliometric indicators, namely the 10-year g-index and h-index. RPI equally weighs
contributions from the five faculties. The five faculty scores are normalized to place them onto a common scale. The
normalized scores are then averaged to arrive at a final RPI.
normalized scores are then averaged to arrive at a final RPI.
Human Resources & Labor Review
The Human Resources & Labor Review (HRLR) publishes a human competitiveness index & analysis annually in
Chasecareer Network (ChaseCareer.Net). This system is based on Human Resources & Labour Review Indexes (HRI
and LRI), which measure the top 300 universities' graduates' performance.
[15]
Leiden Rankings
The Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University maintains a European and world wide ranking of
the top 500 universities according including the number and impact of Web of Science-indexed publications per year.
The rankings compare research institutions by taking into account differences in language, discipline and institutional
size.
[16]
Multiple ranking lists are released according to various bibliometric normalization and impact indicators,
including the number of publications, citations-per-publication, publications per impact, and field-averaged impact per
publication.
[17]
Newsweek
In August 2006, the American magazine Newsweek published a ranking of the Top 100 Global Universities, using
selected criteria from ARWU and the Times Higher Education-QS rankings, with the additional criterion of the number
of volumes in the library. It formed part of a special issue including an article from Tony Blair, then prime minister of
the UK, but has not been repeated. It considered openness and diversity as well as distinction in research.
[18]
Professional Ranking of World Universities
In contrast to academic rankings, the Professional Ranking of World Universities established in 2007 by the cole
nationale suprieure des mines de Paris measures the efficiency of each university at producing leading business
professionals. Its main compilation criterion is the number of Chief Executive Officers (or equivalent) in the among
the Fortune Global 500.
[19]
This ranking has been criticized for placing five French universities into the top 20.
[10]
QS World Universit Rankings
Main article: QS World Universit Rankings
The QS World University Rankings are a ranking of the worlds top universities produced by Quacquarelli Symonds
and published annually since 2004. In 2011 they ranked 712 universities, with the University of Cambridge in the UK,
the Harvard University in the USA and the McGill University in Canada on top. The QS rankings should not be
confused with the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. From 2004 to 2009 the QS rankings were
published in collaboration with Times Higher Education and were known as the Times Higher Education-QS World
University Rankings. In 2010 QS assumed sole publication of rankings produced with this methodology when Times
Higher Education split from QS in order to create a new rankings methodology in partnership with Thomson Reuters.
The QS rankings are published in the United States by US News & World Report as the "World's Best Universities."
[20]
The QS rankings use peer review data collected (in 2011) from 33,744 scholars and academics and 16,785 recruiters.
These two are worth 40 per cent and 10 per cent of a university's possible score. The QS rankings also incorporate
citation per faculty member data from Scopus,
[21]
, faculty/student ratios, and international staff and student numbers.
The citations and faculty/student measures are worth 20 per cent of an institution's total score and the international staff
and student data five per cent each. QS has published online material about its methodology [1]
(http://iu.qs.com/projects-and-services/world-university-rankings/) .
QS published the 2011 QS World University Rankings online on September 6, 2011. The rankings also appear in book
form, and via media partners including US News & World Report and Chosun Ibo.
QS has added to its main World University Rankings, starting in 2009 with the Asian University Rankings [2]
QS has added to its main World University Rankings, starting in 2009 with the Asian University Rankings [2]
(http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/asian-university-rankings/2011) . The QS Latin American
University Rankings [3] (http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/latin-american-university-rankings/2011)
and the QS World University Rankings by Subject [4] (http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings) were
published for the first time in 2011.
The subject rankings are intended to address the most frequent criticism of all world university ranking systems, that
they contain too little material about specific subjects, something potential applicants are keen to see. These rankings
have been drawn up on the basis of citations, academic peer review and recruiter review, with the weightings for each
dependent upon the culture and practice of the subject concerned. They are published in five clusters; engineering;
biomedicine; the natural sciences; the social sciences; and the arts and humanities, and cover 26 subjects.
SCImago Institutions Rankings
The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR)
[22]
since 2009 has published its international ranking of worldwide research
institutions, the SIR World Report.
[23]
The SIR World Report is the work of the SCImago Research Group,
[24]
a
Spain-based research organization consist of members from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), University
of Granada, Charles III University of Madrid, University of Alcal, University of Extremadura and other education
institutions in Spain.
[25]
The ranking measures areas such as: research output, international collaboration, normalized impact and publication
rate.
[24]
Times Higher Education World Universit Rankings
Main article: Times Higher Education World Universit Rankings
From 2004 to 2009 Times Higher Education (THE), a British publication, published the annual THEQS World
University Rankings (WUR) in association with Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). THE published a table of the top 200
universities and QS ranked approximately 500 online, in book form, and via media partners.
[26]
On 30 October 2009,
THE broke with QS and joined Thomson Reuters to provide a new set of world university rankings, called Times
Higher Education World University Rankings. THE has stated that academic opinion will form part of its new offering.
On 3 June 2010, Times Higher Education revealed the methodology which they proposed to use when compiling the
new world university rankings.
[27]
The new methodology included 13 separate performance indicators, an increase
from the six measures employed between 2004 and 2009. After further consultation the criteria were grouped under
five broad overall indicators to produce the final ranking. THE published its first rankings using its new methodology
on 16 September 2010, a month earlier than previous years.
[28]
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, along with the QS World University Rankings and the
Academic Ranking of World Universities are described to be the three most influential international university
rankings.
[29][30]
The Globe and Mail in 2010 described the Times Higher Education World University Rankings to be
"arguably the most influential."
[31]
Research published by professors at the University of Michigan in 2011 demonstrated that the early THES rankings
were disproportionately influential in establishing the status order of world research universities.
[32]
Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings
Published for the first time in March 2011,
[33]
the rankings are based on a survey of 13,388 academics over 131
countries - which is the largest evaluation of academic reputation to date.
[34]
The survey was conducted in eight
languages by Ipsos Media CT for Times Higher Education's ranking-data partner Thomson Reuters, and asked
experienced academics to highlight what they believed to be the strongest universities for teaching and research in their
own fields. The top six universities in the ranking - California Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Stanford
own fields. The top six universities in the ranking - California Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Stanford
University, University of Oxford, Princeton University, and the University of Cambridge - were found to be 'head and
shoulders above the rest', and were touted as a group of globally recognised "super brands".
[35]
U-Multirank
U-Multirank, a European Commission supported project, will contribute to the EU objective of enhancing transparency
about the different missions and the performance of higher education institutions and research institutes. It is due to be
completed in June, 2011.
[36]
Universit Ranking B Academic Performance
First published in 2010, the University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP) was developed in the Informatics
Institute of Middle East Technical University in Turkey and ranked 2,000 universities according to an aggregation of six
academic research performance indicators: current productivity (number of published articles), long-term productivity
(from Google Scholar), research impact (citations from Institute for Scientific Information), impact (cumulative journal
impact), quality (H-index), and international collaboration.
[37]
Webometrics
Main article: Webometrics Ranking of World Uniersities
The Webometrics Ranking of World Universities is produced by Cybermetrics Lab (CCHS), a unit of the Spanish
National Research Council (CSIC), the main public research body in Spain. It offers information about more than
12,000 universities according to their web presence (an assessment of the scholarly contents, visibility and impact of
universities on the web). The ranking is updated every January and July.
The Webometrics Ranking or Ranking Web is built from a database of over 20,000 higher education institutions. The
top 12,000 universities are shown in the main ranking and more are covered in regional lists.
The ranking started in 2004 and is based on a composite indicator that includes both the volume of the Web contents
and the visibility and impact of web publications according to the number of external links they received. A wide range
of scientific activities appears exclusively on academic websites and is typically overlooked by bibliometric indicators.
Webometric indicators measure institutional commitment to Web publication. Webometric results show a high
correlation with other rankings. However, North American universities are relatively common in the top 200, while
small and mediumsize biomedical institutions and German, French, Italian and Japanese universities were less
common in the top ranks. Possible reasons include publishing via independent research councils (CNRS, Max Planck,
CNR) or the large amount of non-English web contents, which are less likely to be linked.
Wuhan Universit
The Research Center for Chinese Science Evaluation at Wuhan University ranking is based on Essential Science
Indicators (ESI), which provides data on journal article publication counts and citation frequencies in over 11,000
journals around the world in 22 research fields.
[38]
Regional and national rankings
Regional and national rankings are carried out in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania.
Asia

200 universities in Asia. The University oI Hong Kong was ranked highest in 2010.
China
Many academic organizations in China rank universities, such as Chinese University Alumni Association (CUAA) and
China Education Center Ltd.

the Chinese university rankings, and many others. There are also many rankings based
on university billionaire alumni, such as Chinese university ranking oI billionaire alumni.
India
Magazines such as India Today, Outlook, Mint, Dataquest and EFY conduct annual rankings Ior the major disciplines.
Japan
Most oI the ranking systems in Japan rank universities by their entrance diIIiculties, oIten called "Hensachi", or by
alumni's successes.
|41|
Especially, the Hensachi Rankings have been most commonly used Ior university rankings.
|42|
One oI the example oI such rankings is Going broke universities - Disappearing universities by Kiyoshi Shimano.
|43|
However, there are several rankings which evaluate universities' overall qualities. Toyo Keizai regularly releases the
university rankings "Truly Strong Universities" once a year.

Japanese leading prep school Kawaijuku also released
the Japan's top 30 university rankings in natural sciences and technology Ior MEXT's GLOBAL 30 Project in 2001.

The European Commission compiled a list oI the 22 universities in the EU with the highest scientiIic impact.
|50|
This
ranking was compiled as part oI the Third European Report on Science & Technology Indicators,
|51|
prepared by the
Directorate General Ior Science and Research oI the European Commission in 2003 (updated 2004).
|52|
It only
explicitly considers the European Union's top institutions, but comparisons with the rest oI the world are provided in
the Iull report. The report says, "University College London comes out on top in both publications (the number oI
scientiIic publications produced by the university) and citations (the number oI times those scientiIic publications are
cited by other researchers)" however the table lists the top scoring university as "Univ London" indicating that the
authors counted the scientiIic output oI the entire University oI London, rather than its constituent colleges.
In this ranking, the EU's top two universities are Cambridge and OxIord, as in the Jiao Tong and Times rankings. This
ranking stresses the scientiIic quality oI the institution, as opposed to its size or perceived prestige.
|ciaion needed|
Thus
ranking stresses the scientific quality of the institution, as opposed to its size or perceived prestige.
[citation needed]
Thus
smaller, technical universities, such as Eindhoven (Netherlands) and University of Munich (Germany) are ranked third
and forth, behind Cambridge, and followed by University of Edinburgh. The report does not provide a direct
comparison between EU and universities in the rest of the worldalthough it does compute a scientific impact score,
measured against the world average.
In December 2008, the European Commission published a call for tenders, inviting bidders to design and test a new
multi-dimensional university ranking system with global outreach. The first results of the envisaged pilot project were
promised for the first half of 2011.
[53]
Another approach to classify the European research area is offered by 'European Research Ranking'.
[54]
This ranking is
based on publicly available data from the European Commissions project and funding database CORDIS to estimate
the funding and networking performance of European research institutions.
Austria
Some Austrian Universities, including all Austrian Universities of Applied Science, take part in the CHE
UniversityRanking.
[55]
Bulgaria
The Bulgarian University Ranking System, maintained by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education, compares academic
programs in accredited domestic higher education institutions.
[56]
The system ranks programs based on more than 50
indicators, such as teaching and learning conditions, scientific research, career development opportunities, prestige,
and material resources. According to 2010 results, the American University in Bulgaria led all universities in terms of
graduates employability and income.
[57]
France
Le Nouvel Observateur and other popular magazines occasionally offer rankings of universities, "Grandes coles" and
their preparatory schools, the "Prpas".
[58]
German
Since 2007, the CHE "ExcellenceRanking" has been published by the Center for Higher Education Development in
Germany.
[55]
The ranking includes the sciences of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics as well as psychology,
political science and economics. The ranking is designed to support the search for masters or doctoral programmes.
The CHE also wants to highlight the research strengths of European universities and provide them with ideas for
improvement. The ranking is published by the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit in English and German. The CHE
Center for Higher Education Development gathers the data for this ranking. An English version is provided by the
DAAD.
The CHE also publishes a "ResearchRanking" showing the research strengths of German universities. The CHE
ResearchRanking is based on the researchrelated data of the UniversityRanking.
Ireland
The Sunday Times ranks Irish universities based on a mix of criteria, including secondary school examination scores,
graduation rates, staff-student ratio, research efficiency, accommodation, nontraditional students, athletics and sports
facilities.

The Ad Astra association of Romanian scientists ranked Romanian universities in 2006 and 2007.
[61]
Russia
Several bodies rank Russian universities, including RIA Novosti / Forbes, Independent Rating Agency RatER, Interfax
(in cooperation with Ekho Moskvy) and the Russian Journal "Finance".
RIA Novost / Forbes rankings are conducted under the supervision of Public Chamber of Russia in cooperation with
State University Higher School of Economics)
[62][63]
This ranking is considered the most objective
system.
[ciaion needed]
It covers 476 higher education institutions and is based on the average score of the Unified State
Examination that is required to enter a university. The ranking has separate subrankings for different subjects and
clusters of universities.
RIA Novosty's top 5 Russian universities are Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow State Institute of
International Relations, State University Higher School of Economics, Finance University under the Government of
the Russian Federation and Voronezh State Medical Academy. These are not the "conventional leaders" such as
Moscow State University and Saint Petersburg State University which occupy 7th and 34th places respectively.
[62]
Thus
the ranking contradicts other local and international rankings such as Academic Ranking of World Universities and QS
World University Rankings which take into account inherited reputation from the Soviet Union.
Independent Rating Agenc RatER publishes annual rankings based on representation of university graduates in
governmental, education and business elite.
[64]
Leading positions are usually occupied by Moscow State University,
Saint Petersburg State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow State Institute of International
Relations, Moscow Aviation Institute and Finance University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
Interfa annually ranks "classical" (or multi-faculty) universities and higher education institutions specialising in
law.
[65]
Interfax' methodology qanifie several qaliaie factors such as research, teaching standards, public
opinion and social and international activity. Interfax lists Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University,
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia and Novosibirsk State
University as its top five.
The Russian Journal "Finance" produces an integrated ranking of higher education institutions specialising in
economics and finance.
[66]
The Journal uses the average score of the Unified State Examination, the number of CFO
graduates and the consolidated turnover of companies where graduate CFOs are employed. This ranking lists Finance
University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State
University of Economics and Finance, Moscow State Institute of International Relations and State University of
Management in its top five.

The Research Assessment Exercises (RAE) are the UK government's evaluation of research quality in British
Universities. Each subject, called a unit of assessment, is ranked by a peer review panel. The rankings are used in the
allocation of government funding. The latest assessment was made in 2008. The RAE provides quality ratings for
research across all disciplines. Panels use a standard scale for each submission. Ratings range from 1 to 5, according to
the quantity of work that is judged to reach national or international levels of excellence. Participating institutions
receive grants from one of the four higher education funding bodies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) assesses undergraduate teaching. QAA is an independent
body established by the UK's higher education institutions in 1997. QAA was under contract to the Higher Education
Funding Council for England to assess quality for English universities. This replaced Teaching Quality Assessments
(TQAs) which aimed to assess the administrative, policy and procedural framework within which teaching took place
and did not directly assess teaching quality. This inspectionbased system was replaced by a system of information
provision, including a national student survey. QAA publishes scores which have been used by the league table
industry.
Other rankings include Times Good University Guide, Independent Complete University Guide, The Sunday Times
University Guide, The GuardianUniversity Guide (mainly for undergraduate studies.)
[70]
North America
Canada
Maclean's, a Canadian news magazine, publishes an annual ranking of Canadian Universities, called the Macleans
University Rankings.
[71]
Ranking criteria include student body characteristics, classes, faculty, finances, library, and
reputation. The rankings are split into three categories: schools that focus on undergraduate studies with few to no
graduate programs, schools that have both extensive undergraduate studies and an extensive selection of graduate
programs and schools that have a professional medical program and a selection of graduate programs.
[72]
The University of Calgary produced a formal study examining the ranking methodology, illuminating the factors that
determined its rank and criticizing certain aspects of the methodology. The University of Alberta, the University of
Toronto and University of Manitoba have expressed displeasure over the ranking system.
[73]
A notable difference between rankings in the United States and Maclean's rankings, however, is that Maclean's
excludes privatelyfunded universities. However, the majority of Canada's institutions, including the bestknown are
publiclyfunded.
Beginning in September 2006, over 20 Canadian universities, including several of the most prestigious and largest
universities such as the University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, Concordia
University, McMaster University and Dalhousie University, jointly refused to participate.
[74]
University of Alberta
president Indira Samarasekera wrote that Maclean's initially filed a "Freedom of Information" request but that it was
"too late" for the universities to respond. Samarasekera further stated, "Most of [the universities] had already posted
the data online, and we directed Macleans staff to our Web sites. In instances where the magazine staff couldnt find
data on our Web site, they chose to use the previous years data."

ECUM provides online access to data for 2007 and 2008 through ExECUM.
[80]
Institutional data can be visualized
through three options:
A selection of the most prominent 58 universities (43 publics and 13 privates). This selection accounts for
more than 60 percent of undergraduate and graduate enrollments. It includes public federal universities
(UNAM, Instituto Politcnico Nacional, Universidad Autnoma Metropolitana, Universidad Pedaggica
Nacional, Universidad del Ejrcito y la Fuerza Area, Colegio de Mxico, Universidad Autnoma de
Chapingo, Universidad Autnoma Agraria Antonio Narro); 35 public state universities (UPES
(http://ses.sep.gob.mx/wb/ses/universidades_publicas_estatales) ), and a group of private institutions that
feature within ECUM's selected classification data.
Result tables for the top 20 institutions in each of the data labels in this study. These include some of the
selected universities in addition to the rest of Mexico's higher education institutions, as well as institutes,
centers and other research producing organizations.
A personalized selection from more than 600 institutions. These are classified by institutional type,
institutional gatherings, by activity sector alphabetically.
ExECUM allows users to establish comparison types and levels which they consider relevant. Data is presented in raw
form with virtually no derived indicators. Users can relate variables and build indicators according to their own
analytical perspectives.
Based on this comparative study project, ECUM's creator, the Direccin General de Evaluacin Institucional, published
reports providing an analysis of the data for 2007 and 2008.

U.S. Nes & World Report College and Universit rankings
Referred to as the "granddaddy of the college rankings",
[84]
America's best
known American college and university rankings have been compiled since
1983 by U.S. Ne & Wold Repo and are widely regarded as the most
influential of all college rankings.
[85]
This influence is partially attributed to
the simple ranking system that U.S. Ne uses. The ranking order of
universities has been shown to have great effect; a one-rank improvement
leads to a 0.9% increase in number of applicants.
[86]
The US News rankings are based upon data which U.S. Ne collects from
each educational institution either from an annual survey or from the
school's website. It also considers opinion surveys of university faculty and
administrators outside the school.
[87]
The college rankings were published
in all years thereafter, except 1984.
United States National Research Council Rankings
United States National Research Council Rankings
Main article: United States National Research Council Rankings
The National Research Council ranks the doctoral research programmes of US universities, most recently in 1995.
[88]
Data collection for an updated ranking began in 2006.
[89]
Facult Scholarl Productivit rankings
The Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index by Academic Analytics ranks 354 institutions based on faculty publications,
citations, research grants and awards.
[90][91]
The Top American Research Universities
The Center for Measuring University Performance has ranked American research universities in the Top American
Research Universities since 2000. The methodology is based on data such as research publications, citations,
recognitions and funding, as well as undergraduate quality such as SAT scores. The information used can be found in
publicaccessible materials, reducing possibilities for manipulation. The methodology is generally consistent from year
to year and changes are explained in the publication along with references from other studies.
[92]
Washington Monthl College rankings
The Washington Monthl's "College Rankings", last published in 2010, began as a research report in 2005. Related
rankings appeared in the September 2006 issue. It offers American university and college rankings
[93]
based upon how
well it enhances social mobility, fosters scientific and humanistic research and promotes an ethic of service.
[94]
TrendTopper MediaBu College Guide
TrendTopper MediaBuzz College Guide is an American-college guide based on what it calls "Internet brand equity"
based on data collected from the Internet and global media sources. It ranks the Top 300 United States colleges and
universities. The guide includes specialty and for profit schools inncluding Art, Business, Design, Music, and Online
Education. The TrendTopper MediaBuzz College Rankings are produced twice a year by the Global Language Monitor
of Austin, Texas.
Time Magazine described internet brand equity as "a measure of who's talking about you online, based on Internet
data, social media, blogs and the top 75,000 print and electronic media outlets.
[95]

[96]
GLM ranks the schools "according to their online presence -- or internet brand equity ... By focusing on online
presence, the Monitor hopes to avoid the biases that characterize other rankings, which commonly rely on the opinions
of university officials and college counselors rather than that of the greater public.
[97]
" GLM believes the rankings
provide an up-to-date perspective on which schools have the most popular brand. The resulting rankings gauge the
relative value of the various institutions and how they change over time.
Forbes College rankings
In 2008, Forbes.com began publishing an annual list, prepared by the Center for College Affordabilit and
Productivit
[98]
of "America's Best Colleges".
[99]
The Forbes rankings use the list of alumni published in Who's Who
in America, student evaluations from RateMyProfessors.com, self-reported salaries of alumni from PayScale, four-year
graduation rates, numbers of students and faculty receiving "nationally competitive awards," and four-year
accumulated student debt to calculate the rankings.
[100]
The list emphasizes tuition costs, which boosts the ratings of
the zero-cost United States Service academies. It disregards subjective measures such as public reputation, which
causes some Ivy League colleges to score lower than in other lists.
American Council of Trustees and Alumni
American Council of Trustees and Alumni
In 2009, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) began grading colleges and universities based on the
strength of their general education requirements. They assign a letter grade ranging from "A" to "F" to more than 700
four-year colleges and universities based on how many of seven subjects are required of students: composition,
mathematics, intermediate-level foreign language, science, economics, literature and American government or
history.
[101]
This rating has been endorsed by Mel Elfin, founding editor of U.S. News & World Reports rankings.
[102]
New York Times higher education blogger Stanley Fish, while agreeing that universities ought to have a strong core
curriculum, disagreed with some of the subjects ACTA includes in the core.
[103]
As of 2010, only 16 universities had
earned an "A".
[104]
Revealed preference rankings
Avery et al. pioneered the use of choice modelling to rank colleges. Their methodology used a statistical analysis of the
decisions of 3,240 students who applied to college in 1999.
[105]
MyChances.net adopted a similar approach starting in
2009,
[106]
stating that its method is based on this approach.
[107]
The study analysed students admitted to multiple
colleges. The college they attended became the winner, and the others became the losers. An Elo rating system was
used to assign points based on each win or loss, and the colleges were ranked based on their Elo points. A useful
consequence of the use of Elo points is that they can be used to estimate the frequency with which students, upon
being admitted to two schools, will choose one over the other.
Other rankings of US universities
Other organizations that rank US institutions include the Fiske Guide to Colleges and College Prowler. Many
specialized rankings are available in guidebooks, considering individual student interests, fields of study, geographical
location, financial aid and affordability.
Among the rankings dealing with individual fields of study is the Philosophical Gourmet Report or "Leiter
Report",
[108]
a ranking of philosophy departments. This report has attracted criticism from different viewpoints.
Notably, practitioners of continental philosophy, who perceive the Leiter report as unfair to their field, have compiled
alternative rankings.
The Gourman Report, last published in 1996, ranked the quality of undergraduate majors and graduate programs.
Gallup polls ask American adults, "All in all, what would you say is the best college or university in the United
States?"
[109]
The Princeton Review, annually publishes a book of Best Colleges. In 2011, this was titled The Best 373 Colleges. Phi
Beta Kappa has also sought to establish chapters at the best schools, lately numbering 280.

Other commercial rankings
are made by research magazines, including Qu Pasa and Amrica Economa. Qu Pasa's ranking evaluates perception
and quality following surveys of approximately 1,000 employers across the country.
[113]
Amrica Economa's ranking
considers quality of students, quality of teachers, rating of professors by student, research productivity,
internationalization, integration with the community, student life quality and inclusion of students from lower social
strata.
