Hey, the university you went to should be on that list :)
Yeah, that's the key. It all comes down to who is doing the rating. Not businesses evaluating the quality of the graduates, but navel gazing academics.
Still, I find it interesting that I have brothers with advanced degrees from two of the top 100 (Rice University and University of Chicago) and that Pennsylvania alone is home to more of the top 100 as the entire country of France.
I work at a very well known, but oft overlooked university. We’re not listed on this, despite having multiple Nobel prize winners on faculty. This despite being located next to a medical center that is without peer. This despite having very high profile alumnus, faculty, and being one of the premier research universities in the country, if not the world.
And we like it that way.
My alma mater is #24, not too bad. Engineering and other sciences help keep Illinois’ ranking up there.
And who are the faces behide the Times Higher Education mask?
