London/New York, September 22, 2021 — The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education U.S. College Ranking uses 15 performance indicators. It strives to answer the questions that matter most to students and their families. For example, how likely am I to graduate, pay off my loans, and get a good job? Does the college have plenty of resources to teach me properly? Would I be engaged and stretched in the classroom and get good access to my teachers? Is there a diverse campus community?

The 2022 ranking includes almost 800 colleges/universities.

Harvard University tops the table for the fifth year in a row. At the same time, Stanford University climbs two places to second, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University drop one place to third and fourth, respectively.

Johns Hopkins University is the only newcomer in the top 10, ranking at the joint ninth place (up from 11th), while Emory University is the only newcomer in the top 20.

The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor is the top public university for the second year in a row.

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

• The student-focused WSJ/THE College Rankings differ considerably from the THE World University Rankings, which emphasize research excellence on a global scale.

All ranked institutions have an overall score and four pillar scores. However, for each pillar, only institutions ranked in the top 400 overall, or the top 400 in that pillar, have a publicly visible score.

The ranking adopts a balanced scorecard approach, with 15 individual performance indicators combined to create an overall score that reflects the broad strength of the institution.

Data comes from various sources: the U.S. government (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System - IPEDS), the College Scorecard, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the THE US Student Survey, the THE Academic Survey, and the Elsevier bibliometric dataset.

• WSJ/THE Ranking Methodology

The overall methodology explores four key areas:

• Resources (30%)

Does the college have the capacity to deliver teaching effectively? The Resources area represents 30 percent of the overall ranking. Within this, WSJ/THE look at:

Finance per student (11%)
Faculty per student (11%)
Research papers per faculty (8%)

• Engagement (20%)

Does the college effectively engage with its students? Most of the data in this area come from the THE US Student Survey. The Engagement area represents 20 percent of the overall ranking. Within this, WSJ/THE look at:

Student engagement (7%)
Student recommendation (6%)
Interaction with teachers and students (4%)
Number of accredited programs (3%)

• Outcomes (40%)

Does the college generate reasonable and appropriate outputs? Does it add value to the students who attend? The Outcomes area represents 40 percent of the overall ranking.

Within this, WSJ/THE looks at:

Graduation rate (11%)
Value added to graduate salary (12%)
Debt after graduation (7%)
Academic reputation (10%)

• Environment (10%)

Is the college providing a good learning environment for all students? Does it make efforts to attract a diverse student body and faculty? The Environment area represents 10 percent of the overall ranking. Within this WSJ/THE looks at:

The proportion of international students (2%)
Student diversity (3%)
Student inclusion (2%)
Staff diversity (3%)

If reproducing this list, please credit “Global Employability University Ranking and Survey (GEURS)” and include the link to the full table at Times Higher Education.

The employers that took part provided around 800,000 graduate jobs or placements in 2022-2023 in total.

The survey, now in its 12 th year, incorporated 98,014 votes from employers worldwide on which universities teach the key skills that students need to thrive in the workplace.

In 2017 Emerging introduced the concept of drivers which allows analysis of the motives behind each university’s votes . The six drivers are: academic excellence, specialisation, focus on work expertise, graduate skills, digital performance and internationality.

Key findings from this year’s results:

Digital skills have become the most important factor to employers since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Subject specialisation and work expertise closely follow graduate skills as important drivers of performance.
The top 10 universities are located in the US, UK, Japan and Singapore but 44 countries and regions are represented in the ranking including China, France, India, Spain, South Korea, Germany and Israel.
The US is home to the top three universities and turns around its ten-year decline across the ranking .
Universities in mainland China are seeing a steady rise throughout the ranking due to strengths in graduate skills and work experience
In Europe, Spain is the highest climber of the last two years
There are 19 new universities in this year’s ranking from Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Germany and France
Florida Institute of Technology is the highest climber this year, climbing 85 places to 76.
New countries in this year’s ranking include Egypt, Estonia and Colombia.

Sandrine Belloc, Managing Partner, Emerging commented:

“Since its inception in 2010, the GEURS has been more than a yearly specialised ranking. The GEURS is also a survey in which, year after year, employers worldwide are questioned extensively on several subjects: on their recruitment processes, their relationship with universities, or the skills they are looking for in graduates.

“Emerging’s research has always shown that reputation, academic excellence, and employability are the three fundamentals for employers when assessing a university.

“In view of the shifts and transformations which we observe in the corporate marketplace and in how employers assess universities, employability remains an essential criterium, and a key factor for both students and their parents who wish to estimate the value of a degree, and for the universities who need to refine their curriculum to successfully educate their future graduates and stay competitive in a changing world.

“Today, 92% of respondents to the survey believe universities should do more to increase digital skills. Digital skills are not the exclusive concern anymore of computer science faculties and their students, any university digital plan needs a transversal approach that includes all stakeholders.”

Seeta Bhardwa, Editor, THE Student said:

“When students and their parents are looking to choose a university, they want to know that their chosen institution is going to prepare them for the world of work. This ranking helps students to find which universities around the world are teaching students the key skills they need to enter employment and succeed in the workplace. It’s interesting to see that digital skills are now the number one factor that employers look for in graduates and universities should incorporate this into the curriculum as a result.”

GEURS 2022/Summary of results by country

United States

After a steady decline from a dominating position in 2011 when US institutions tended to monopolise the top positions (and 50 per cent of all universities were American), to their lowest representation in the overall employability ranking (22 per cent) in 2020, US universities are enjoying a post-Covid bounce back. With employers attaching an increased importance to digital literacy skills, American universities seem to be at an advantage. Our latest research for Digital Leaders in HE , published in May 2022, clearly shows that employers worldwide overwhelmingly favoured American institutions for the digital skills of their graduates. The progression of top US institutions in this years’ Employability ranking seems to confirm this trend. The leaders in this pack tend to be universities with a strong record in digital skills and learning, like Arizona State University, Florida Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Georgia Institute of Technology.

German universities traditionally perform well in this type of ranking, as their institutions have always been focused on employability, with significant vocational learning and strong ties to companies. This year, however, the share of votes of German institutions has declined slightly for the first time, to 6.75 per cent, which puts them in 4 th place.

United Kingdom

The UK has 14 universities featured in the top 250, which is one fewer than in 2021, but has increased its share of votes with 6.89 per cent; the UK seems to have slowed its declining trend in the GEURS ranking since its inception in 2010. The top universities are all members of the Russell Group such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, London School of Economics and Political Science and Imperial College London. Non Russell Group universities have performed less well. They have been affected by strong competition from other English-speaking academic systems from the rise in tuition fees, Brexit, and above all, by their reluctance to engage in employability as a measure of university success.

Australia and Canada

The English-speaking challengers to US and UK institutions, in Australia and Canada , traditionally attract millions of international students. Both countries remain in the top 10 in the Global Ranking and are among the most represented countries this year. Year after year however, Australia has declined from a prominent position with only one university represented in the top 50: the Australian National University 35 th position. Canada, on the other hand, preserves its historical presence with 11 universities present, of which three feature in the top 50, and with a newcomer, the University of Quebec, entering the ranking in 196 th position this year. The University of Toronto successfully positioned itself among the top 20 of the GEURS ranking.

With 18 universities in the GEURS ranking, French institutions perform well in terms of employability. But although many institutions improve their position in this year’s edition, France’s position is not as strong as it may seem at first glance as only five of its institutions rank in the top 50. However, Centrale Supelec enters the ranking’s top 20 in 18 th position and seven other institutions — Essec Business School, Paris Saclay University, ESCP Europe, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Télécom Paris and Centrale Lyon — rise up the ranks. Finally, newcomers to the ranking in 2021, Aix Marseille University, Sorbonne University and Paris Saclay University all improved their position this year.

For the size of the country and its economic power, the number of Chinese universities in the ranking (11) is still small compared to 18 from France, 17 from Germany and 14 from the UK. Nevertheless, Mainland Chinese institutions in the GEURS ranking mirror a rise seen across other rankings in recent years: four universities have entered the top 250 in the last four years and have now secured ranks in the top 200. Four Chinese universities have entered the top 50 ranks, with two of them championing their way in particular: Tsinghua University climbs +10 ranks to 27 th position and Peking University finds itself ranked 14 th . Mainland China’s performance in the GEURS employability ranking since 2010 echoes that of its progress in the THE World University Rankings 2021, which for the first time saw the research quality of China’s middle ranking universities begin to converge with those of the US.
