[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My prediction is that colleges in other countries (in Europe? Canada? Australia?) will take the places of US colleges in world rankings within the next decade or so. The colleges where performance is still the measure for getting in and they can keep academic standards high and therefore graduation prospects really good will become much more in demand. High performing kids will be applying elsewhere, not here.[/quote]

You’re forgetting that those countries have very low tuition for domestic students & equalizing measures in k-12.[/quote]

In humanities and liberal arts there’s a lot of fluffiness.  Check US News Global Engineering rankings.  US is not that dominant.  MIT is only the world’s #4.  Look at how many of the world’s top 25 and top 25 are non-US (and non-Western). Crazy to think about it.[/quote]

I meant top 25 and top 50. [/quote]

Look at US News Best Global Engineering rankings.  That really scares me.  I don’t care if Chinese universities rank the best in the world in history or anthropology or LBGTQ studies.  Those graduates can’t design weapons to kill us.  But engineering graduates do. [/quote]
