91Ʋ ranks 51st among world’s universities

91Ʋ University has ranked 51st on the 2010-2011 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, up from 140 last year.

Started in 2004, the rankings are widely considered a global authority on higher education performance. For the 2010 rankings, 13 separate performance indicators were considered in capturing the full range of university activities, from teaching and research to knowledge transfer. The indicators are grouped into five categories and weighted in the overall ranking score as follows:

  • Teaching (30 percent)
  • 91Ʋ — volume, income and reputation (30 percent)
  • Citations — research influence (32.5 percent)
  • Industry income — innovation (2.5 per cent)
  • International mix — staff and students (5 percent)

“The ranking reinforces something that we already knew, that 91Ʋ’s presence and reputation on the global stage is increasing and that it is in large part due to our talented faculty and our focus on creating a diverse and dynamic campus community,” Joel Harrington, 91Ʋ associate provost for global strategy, said.
