After several years of progressively climbing in the annual rankings published by The Wall Street Journal and Times Higher Education, Johns Hopkins University (JHU) finally makes its debut in the ninth spot as the only newcomer to the top 10 for the 2022 rankings.
The university has witnessed significant developments in terms of resources, outcomes, and environment—three of the four pillar categories used to determine the rankings.
Key Takeaways:
- JHU is the only newcomer to complete the top 10 of the 2022 rankings of best U.S. colleges and universities.
- JHU placed ninth on similar rankings, including The Wall Street Journal and the U.S. News and World Report Best College rankings.
- JHU was ranked 10 in the U.S. earlier this month by the Times Higher Education.
The Wall Street Journal and the Times Higher Education (THE) rankings serve as guides for students and their families in deciding which educational institution to go to. Its balanced scorecard approach looks at 15 individual performance indicators to create an overall score that reflects the broad strength of the institution.
With the recently released U.S. News and World Report Best College rankings, the longest-running and most widely cited U.S. colleges and universities assessment, JHU also placed on the ninth spot.
The rankings also recognized the university for its innovative approach, ethnic diversity, overall values, the highest percentage of international students, and best destinations for undergraduate research and creative projects.
Earlier this month, Times Higher Education ranked JHU No. 13 globally and No. 10 in the United States. THE uses a different methodology than the U.S. list by comparing more than 1,600 universities worldwide based on teaching, citations, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook metrics.
