[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US News produces a ranking that contains significantly different results from…..the US news ranking!

And this is the best they can do to answer why:

Why do many U.S. public institutions perform better in the Best Global Universities rankings than in the Best Colleges rankings, while other public and private institutions perform worse?

In the overall Best Global Universities ranking, U.S. public universities performed well.

Three U.S. public universities are in the top 20, with the University of California, Berkeley ranked at No. 7, University of California, Los Angeles at No. 11, and University of Washington at No. 12.

In the U.S. News Best Colleges rankings of research-oriented National Universities, the highest-ranked public institutions are the University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Los Angeles, which are ranked No. 15 and No. 17, respectively.

In other cases, institutions like Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, Brown University in Rhode Island, University of Notre Dame in Indiana, Rice University in Texas and University of Miami in Florida have rankings in the overall Best Global Universities that are considerably lower than where they place in the U.S. News Best Colleges rankings.

In cases where U.S. institutions are ranked much lower in the overall Best Global Universities than in Best Colleges, those schools performed relatively poorly on the indicators of research performance compared with their global peers.[/quote]
