Chinese center ranks US universities world’s best
Print Edition
American universities ruled in a global ranking conducted by a Chinese research center with Harvard taking the crown for the 13th year.
The top 10 universities were virtually unchanged from last year with Stanford and MIT coming in second and third, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities released by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University center.
The University of California at Berkeley, Princeton University and the California Institute of Technology remained in fourth, sixth and seventh places.
Columbia University and the University of Chicago came in at eighth and ninth.
The universities of Cambridge and Oxford, the only two non-American universities in the top 10, were fifth and 10th.
Last year Chicago and Oxford tied for ninth place while this year the US establishment held the place alone with the British institution slipping a notch.
The center surveys 1,200 universities and picks the top 500 every year.
Though the Chinese organizer claims the ranking to be “the most trustworthy,” European officials have in the past criticized it for being biased against Europe’s universities as it underemphasizes the humanities and stresses sciences.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University advanced four places to come in 118th.
