Try your hand at top-ranked subjects with hundreds of free and low-fee courses from Open Learning
MIT has been named the world’s top university by the QS World University Rankings for the 11th year in a row.
The full 2022 edition of the rankings — published by Quacquarelli Symonds, an organization specializing in education and study abroad — can be found at TopUniversities.com. The QS rankings were based on academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per faculty, student-to-faculty ratio, proportion of international faculty, and proportion of international students.
QS also ranked MIT as the world’s top university in 12 of subject areas and granted the Institute second place for 2 additional subjects, as announced in April of this year.
