Arizona State University has been rated in the top 1% of institutions of higher education worldwide, according to the Center for World University Rankings.
The ranking out of 20,000 world universities is in part a reflection of the university’s continuous expansion of its global reach through research and education. ASU is a knowledge enterprise that spans multiple subjects, interests and locations around the world.
The Center for World University Rankings says it compiles the largest academic ranking of global universities through measures such as the quality of student education and the quality of faculty members and their research. The center weighs in factors including, but not limited to, research publications, patents and broad impact.
ASU outranked institutions such as Georgetown and Virginia Tech.
As the most recent ranking indicates, the university has become a global center for discovery and development, imparting solution-oriented research to solve national and international issues facing society.
ASU has received numerous honors in the past year, including being ranked the most innovative university in the country for the fifth straight year (U.S. News & World Report), the No. 1 school in the U.S. in attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Time Higher Education), among the top 20 institutions for producing Fulbright scholars (The Chronicle of Higher Education), and No. 7 in research by the National Science Foundation.
