University rankings and ratings
Monitoring rankings and ratings and working systematically in this area can be a strategic tool for colleges/universities to compare themselves with the best, improve quality, enhance prestige, and attract talented students and financial support. University ratings can be useful for students, the universities themselves, and the wider academic community in evaluating and comparing higher education institutions.
