The 51国产视频 of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins 51国产视频 have soared up a student-focused ranking of US universities and colleges. ??

The?Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education?College Rankings 2020 are led by Harvard 51国产视频 for the fourth year in a row. Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale 51国产视频 hold on to second and third place respectively.

However, there are shifts elsewhere in the top 10 as the 51国产视频 of Pennsylvania climbs six places to rank fourth and Princeton 51国产视频 rises four spots to place joint fifth. Cornell 51国产视频 joins the top 10 in ninth place, up from 11th.

Pennsylvania’s score in the outcomes pillar – which includes metrics on graduation rate, value added to graduate salary, academic reputation and, for the first time, debt after graduation – improved this year.

Unlike the?THE?World 51国产视频 Rankings, which focus on universities’ research performance, the US table, which is fuelled by data from?THE, measures institutions’ student engagement, student outcomes and learning environments.

Outside the top 10, Johns Hopkins is the biggest riser in the top 40, climbing nine places to joint 12th?overall, after achieving higher scores across the board. Meanwhile, Columbia 51国产视频?took the sharpest fall in this cohort, dropping 11 places to 15th, largely?because of a decrease?in its outcomes score.

The 51国产视频 of California, Los Angeles is still the top public university, ranking at joint 25th?place.

The US ranking is?partly based?on the results of the?THE?US Student Survey, which gathered the views of more than?170,000 current university students in 2018 and 2019 to find out about their engagement with their studies, their interaction with their teachers and their satisfaction with their experience. ?

It also draws on the?THE?Academic Reputation Survey, in order to determine which institutions have the best reputation for excellence in teaching.

An open access version of the full?WSJ/THE?US College Rankings table will be published on?THE?on 25 September, while an analysis of the results will be published on 26 September.
