The Center for World University Rankings has ranked the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø among the top universities in the world. In its inaugural , released last week, CWUR ranked the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø in the top 10 worldwide in a total of 45 subject categories. The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø had the ninth-most top-10 appearances of any university, ranking just behind the University of Oxford (47 top-10 appearances) and just ahead of MIT (41).
Unlike most university rankings, CWUR does not make use of data provided by universities themselves. Instead, the CWUR Rankings by Subject are calculated based on the number of research articles published in top-tier journals by an institution’s faculty. CWUR ranked a total of 227 subject areas.
The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s top-10 rankings included fields from Acoustics (6th) to Women’s Studies (5th). In all, the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø received top-5 rankings in 22 fields, and its Social Work program was ranked #1 in the world.
