The annual US News & World Report Best Global Universities rankings provide insight into how universities compare globally.
Since an increasing number of students enroll in universities outside of their home countries, these rankings – which focus exclusively on institutions’ overall academic research and reputations and not on their separate undergraduate or graduate programmes – can help those applicants compare institutions around the world.
The 2024-2025 Best Global Universities rankings also provide insight into how US universities – which US News has been ranking separately for nearly 40 years – stand globally. All universities can benchmark themselves against schools in their own country and region, become more visible to international educators, and find top schools in other countries with which to engage.
The overall ranking encompasses 2,250 top institutions, up from 2,000 in the last ranking, spread across 104 countries, up from 95.
