Johns Hopkins 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ has joined the top 10 of Times Higher Education¡¯s student-focused US ranking for the first time.

The Baltimore institution ranks at joint ninth place in the Wall Street Journal/THE?College Rankings 2022, on a par with Northwestern 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ. It swaps places with Cornell 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ, which drops two places to 11th.

Harvard 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ leads the table for the fifth consecutive year, while Stanford rises two places to second and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology drops one place to third.

Johns Hopkins¡¯ rise is driven by slight improvements in its scores in three of the four pillars underpinning the ranking ¨C resources, outcomes and environment ¨C showing how tight the margins are at the top of the table.

51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

Stanford¡¯s increase is down to an improved score in the resources pillar, which includes metrics on finance per student, faculty per student and research papers per?faculty.

Meanwhile, Emory 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ joins the top 20 for the first time since 2019, after rising four places to 20th. Its improvement was largely driven by a higher score in the outcomes pillar, which includes metrics on graduation rate, value added to graduate salary, debt after graduation and academic reputation.

51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Michigan-Ann Arbor is the top public institution for the second year in a row, but it drops one place to 24th. This is part of a broader trend;?none of the nine public universities that feature in the top 50 of the rankings this year and last year have improved during that time.

Unlike the?THE?World 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ 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.

One new institution joins the US table this year: the United States Military Academy, which ranks at 47th.
