The University of Washington is No. 17 in the world — No. 3 among U.S. public universities — on the 2022 Academic Ranking of World Universities, released today.
This global ranking was first established in 2003 by Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Center for World-Class Universities. Since 2009, the ranking has been published by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy, which is not affiliated with any university. The ranking of the world’s top universities is based on transparent methodology and objective third-party data. It has been recognized as the precursor of global university rankings and the most trustworthy one, according to the consultancy.
This year, the ranking included 1,000 universities around the world.
The consultancy calculates its rankings based on a university’s external recognition. The components of the ranking include: total number of alumni and faculty who have won major awards; number of highly cited researchers employed; and the number of papers published and cited. More information about the ranking’s methodology is available on the organization’s website.
