Orenburg State Medical University: Top 100 of the Best Universities in Russia 2018 in the Opinion of Forbes In the month of June, the editors of Forbes magazine published the first rating of the best Universities in Russia. The rating methodology of top 100 of the best Universities of Russia was based on the quality of education, the quality of graduates and the Forbes factor. The data was used as a basis for monitoring the performance of over 600 institutions of higher education prepared by the Ministry of Education. The evaluation took place not only on the basis of quality education, but also statistical data on the employment of graduates, their relevance in the regions, and the number of entrepreneurs among them. Forbes also studied biographies of over 1, 600 representatives of the Russian elite - members of the Forbes list and their children, heads of private and state companies, officials and deputies. Thus, universities are analyzed in ten metrics and evaluated into three components, i. e. the quality of education (maximum 50 points), the quality of graduates (maximum 30 points) and the Forbes factor, which takes into account the "elite" of the institution and the share of entrepreneurs in the total number of graduates (maximum 20 points).

(KFVS) - Two Heartland area colleges make Forbes' top college list for 2019. According to Forbes, the 650 higher education institutions that make up their America's Top Colleges 2019 list are the best in the country. Forbes states the average total cost for all of the colleges on this year's list is $45, 000 annually. The following is Forbes' top 10 for 2019: Harvard University Stanford University Yale University Massachusetts Institute of Technology Princeton University University of Pennsylvania Brown University California Institute of Technology Duke University Dartmouth College Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale make an appearance further down on the list. Murray was ranked 613 and SIU-C was ranked 629. According to Murray State, this is the 12th consecutive year the university has made the Forbes list. "Forbes' recognition of Murray State University, now for the 12th consecutive year, indicates that students can immerse themselves in an opportunity-rich living and learning community that is both engaging and empowering, and upon graduation, can pursue excellence in their chosen career path, " said Murray State President Dr. Bob Jackson.
This point is a great illustration of what the study also found in debunking the myth that price equals quality in higher education; when it comes to alumni ratings, there is no relationship between price and quality. Clearly, alumni ratings validate some current top-ranked universities while also adding a very diverse and new set of outstanding institutions to the list. No doubt, an expanded sample size that would allow for inclusion of more universities in the ranking would change things further – revealing more 'diamonds in the rough' so to speak. This methodology relies on one of the most trusted forms of consumer decision-making (reviews from actual customers) and would likely be widely recognized and adopted as an additional view point for students seeking the 'best' colleges and universities. Whether integrated into existing ranking methodology or as a stand-alone ranking, alumni ratings should play an important role in helping prospective students chose a college. Colleges and universities themselves ought to value such measures – not only for the potential benefit of marketing bragging rights but for their own continuous improvement.
Forbes Top University Ranking in the United States for 2017 « Guide 2 Research in News & Events, Research Blog, Tutorials Posted on August 22, 2017 Forbes released the ranking of universities and colleges across the United States of America for the year 2017. The ranking is prepared annually by the Center for College Affordability and Productivity. College and university rankings in the United States are rankings of US colleges and universities ordered by various combinations of various contributing factors which differ considerably depending on the organization performing the ranking. For Forbes, there are a number of factors which determine the institutions ranking including student satisfaction, post-graduate success, student debts and graduation rate. For this year ranking, Harvard University is at the top spot followed by Stanford, Yale, Princeton, and MIT. Harvard seized the top place on Forbes' ranking of universities for the first time since the first release of the list in 2008.
(I currently serve on the advisory committee of Strada's Center for Consumer Insights and formerly worked at Gallup. ) The data analyzed come from 146, 345 college graduates from 2, 989 colleges and universities, of which there were enough respondents from 496 institutions to provide reliable alumni ratings.
For example, the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education rankings include a novel student satisfaction survey as roughly 17% of their rankings weighting. And US News & World Report includes alumni giving as 3% of their rankings weighting. But neither include actual ratings from alumni in any fashion. In some respects, it's hard to believe that nearly 40 years into the college rankings era (US News first ranked colleges in 1983) there's still no inclusion of actual customer reviews as one of the criterion. With college now one of the largest financial decisions (behind only home purchases) for Americans, it's a wonder why consumer ratings haven't factored prominently as a guidepost for college selection. Yet here we are with our fist preliminary view. Here are the top 25 colleges and universities according to alumni ratings: 1. Princeton University 2. Yale University 3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology 4. University of Maryland – Baltimore 5. Duke University 6. University of Virginia 7.

Harvard rose to the top spot after being on 4th and 6th positions in 2016 and 2015 respectively. For Stanford University, which was at position 1 during 2016, it dropped to position 2 for this year. It is worth to note that academic institutions from Northeast dominated the top of this year top universities ranking by Forbes, representing 17 colleges of the Top 25. The highest ranking public school is the University of California, Berkeley; the U. S. Naval Academy is the top military academy. The University of Chicago tops the rankings in the Midwest and Duke University earned the title of best school in the South by Forbes. For people looking to study computer science, it is worth to consider other university ranking as strangely, there are colleges ranked among the top 20 of the Forbes' Ranking where there are no leading research scientists affiliated to those academic institutions. Again, Education is always driven and shaped by the excellence of research.
