The Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Tecnológico de Monterrey and the Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla They are considered the best educational institutions at the higher level in the country, as it was considered in the US News & World Report ranking.
This general ranking of the Best Global Universities encompasses 1,750 top-tier institutions, up from almost 1,500 last year, and is distributed in more than 90 countries, up from 86 last year. The first step in producing these rankings, which are powered by Clarivate, involved the creation of a pool of 1,849 colleges that was used to rank the 1,750 top schools.
It should be noted that in the United States there are four universities that are considered the best to study the following year. Number one is Harvard University, followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Stanford University and the University of California-Berkeley in numbers two, three and four, respectively. Rounding out the top five is the University of Oxford in the UK.
“To create the group of 1,849, US News first included the top 250 institutions in Clarivate’s global reputation survey results. Then he added any other institution that has reached the minimum threshold of at least 1,250 articles published between 2015 and 2019. This article threshold has not changed from last year. Those two criteria created the final 2022 ranking group of 1,849 institutions, of which US News ranks the 1,750 top-scoring universities in the overall ranking, ”the post explains.
“The eighth annual US News & World Report Best World Universities Rankings was developed to provide insight into how universities compare globally. Because an increasing number of students plan to enroll in institutions outside their own country, the rankings focus specifically on academic research and the reputation of schools in general and not on their separate undergraduate or graduate programs, and may help applicants accurately compare institutions around the world ”.
According to the publication, the ranking was based on 13 indicators and weightings in which the performance of global research was measured.
