World University Rankings are Out!

The Pac 12 kick some serious butt.  Nice to see that Colorado fits in nicely.  Still it is irksome that UDub is ahead of the Buffs.  But being ranked ahead of SC is a good thing.


The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) has released their 2014 college rankings.
Stanford - 2
Cal-Berkeley - 4
UCLA - 12
UW - 15
CU - 34 (26th nationally)
USC - 51
Arizona - 86
Utah - 87
ASU - 88
Oregon St - 151-200
CSU - 201-300

ARWU uses six objective indicators to rank world universities, including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Reuters, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance of a university.  LINK.
