QS World University Rankings: USA 2020

For the first time ever, we’ve ranked nearly 300 of the top universities in the United States, based on a brand-new methodology which looks at four key indicators: research, learning experience, employability, and diversity & internationalization.

The QS USA Rankings 2020 aim to provide not only international students with new and more granular insights when deciding on a study destination in the USA, but also offer domestic students with a fresh outlook on their home institutions, set within the frame of this new bespoke methodology.

This ranking uniquely focuses on diversity & internationalisation inputs (% of undergraduates receiving Pell grants, gender diversity, % of international students) and outputs (alumni outcomes, graduation rates of Pell grant recipients and Fulbright students studying abroad). It is also unique in paying particular attention to employability outcomes.
