A combination ranking of world-wide undergraduate university League
Tables

The following ranking is based on two presumptions: 1. that all League
Tables measure the same things and 2. that the average university in
each table is equal to the average university in each of the other
tables.

The first is obvious. Each ranking measures student quality (marks,
test scores, and acceptance rates) faculty quality (number of Phd's,
research rankings and number of articles) and overall resources
(student/faculty ratios, class size, library quality and per student
spending.)

The second is much trickier. Initially, I wanted to make sure that I
was measuring apples with apples, not oranges. Because in most
countries, a university grants bachelor through Phd degrees, I thought
to limit my ranking to doctoral granting institutions. But this
eliminates a large pool of good primarily undergraduate schools in
North America. To solve this problem, I limited the US News schools
to those listed in the National Universities category (ie those that
grant Phd's) enveloping in those Liberal Arts Colleges and Regional
schools with scores which placed them within the National sphere. I
feel this is a fair compromise: the National Universities remain the
true comparative group, but are augmented by equivalent institutions
from the other categories. This represents about 700 schools.

Unfortunately, it also eliminates about 700 American colleges. Should
these be have been included? To answer this, I turned to the National
Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC), a British agency
which attempts to place foreign credentials within the British
context. In their book, "International guide to qualifications in
education," they make the following evaluation of American colleges:

Bachelor degree - diversity is the key to American higher education
with more than 3,000 institutions offering post-secondary education.
This means a uniform standard of Bachelor degree is impossible.
Students who have attended a regionally accredited institution, have
gained good grade-point averages (GPA - normally at least 3.0), both
overall and in individual courses, have taken advanced-level courses
in appropriate subjects, have accumulated sufficient credits in major
courses (typically between thirty and fifty-four), and have good
academic references, may be considered for admission to postgraduate
study.

So far so good. However NARIC goes on to say:

Master's degree - in terms of specialisation, the American Master's
degree from prestigious colleges and universities is considered
comparable to the British Bachelor (Honours) degree. Candidates who
have followed academically rigorous programmes have reached a standard
comparable to that of a British taught Master's degree.

Because I am aiming to list the top undergraduate schools with the
highest standards, I decided to limit American institutions to those
which are prestigious enough to grant degrees equivalent, at least in
content, to British honours degrees (even if they are classed as
Masters!). The National Universities and equivalent Liberal Arts
colleges and Regional schools seem a particularly apt group.

With regards to the other League tables, NARIC notes that universities
in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong all grant
undergraduate degrees equivalent to British Honours degrees. NARIC is
not as kind to some of the other countries listed in Asiaweek.
However, as with the US, NARIC does not close the door. Generally,
they state that degrees granted by top ranked schools ought to be
similar to British Honours degrees but that higher standards of
achievement must be shown for candidates from lower ranked schools.
They note, for example that:

Most British institutions would probably regard an average of 81 from
a highly ranked Taiwanese institution as the approximate equivalent of
a British 2:1, but would probably regard the same average grade from a
low ranked Taiwanese institution as the approximate equivalent of a
British 2:2.

One can infer that all the universities listed in Asiaweek are highly
ranked and thus ought to provide sufficiently high standards.

Overall then, it seems that these, plus the selected American group,
do represent equal entities and that the average of one group ought to
equal the average of all.

Procedure:
The League Tables used were from US News and World Report (USA), the
Times (UK), Macleans (Canada) and Asiaweek (Asia). I could not find
any others, although I suspect that a number of European, Latin
American and African institutions ought to be included in any true
ranking.

First, I combined the various tables found in Asiaweek, Macleans and
US News into one ranking for each region/country. (The Times has
already done this for the UK.) For Asiaweek, I computed the means and
standard deviations for the multi-disciplinary and the science and
technology schools and discovering that they were essentially the
same, I simply ranked the universities from 1 to 116. Because a few
schools had opted out of the 2000 rankings but had appeared before, I
used the mean and standard deviation of previous years to compute the
relative positions of these and then plugged them in with the 116
other schools. These made my list of 121.

For Canada, I ranked each school's position in the various qualities,
and then multiplied by the percent assigned by Macleans. All schools'
scores were then totalled and the sums listed from 1 to 47.
As mentioned earlier, US News lists almost 1400 institutions in 16
different groups. With so many schools, categories and qualities to
measure, I decided to limit my computations to that most controversial
of qualities, "reputation," because this, more than any other,
determines the economic "value" of a specific degree. Not
surprisingly, there is a strong correlation between reputation and
relative standing in both the US News and the Macleans rankings.
Higher ranked schools have higher reputations than do lower ranked
ones. (Whether the ranking comes from the reputation or the reputation
from the ranking is unclear.) As I worked, I found that I had to make
one qualification. The reputation of Regional universities and
colleges was lowered by one, the average difference between those
schools which had changed positions in 2001 and 2002 because of
Carnegie Reclassifications. Thus, if a 2001 Regional school was given
a reputational score of 3.2, it received a 2002 National score of
about 2.2. The reverse is true for those few schools which went from
National to Regional categories.

Once I had re-assigned reputation scores, I divided the top tier
National and Regional Universities and Colleges into groups of 10.
(1-10, 11-20, 21-30 and if needed 31-40 and 41-50) The average
reputational score was then calculated for each sub group, and a
proportional score given to each school based on rank. The second
through the fourth tiers were all averaged together into one
reputational score. To make finer distinctions, I re-ordered each of
these tiers via reputational score and then gave each a grade
proportional to their rank within the tier. All these categories were
then folded into the National Universities category, and ranked from
one to 699.

Once the countries/regions had been combined individually, I then
attempted to combine them into one world-wide ranking. To do this, I
took the means and standard deviations of The Times, Macleans and
Asiaweek and calculated the relative positions of each university
within its own group and then plugged that figure into the US News
National Universities group, once again, via mean and standard
deviation. This creates a lot of similar scores which are not
indicated in the table. It is important to remember that although each
university is given a precise number, it's true position is likely to
be anywhere from one to twenty five spots higher or lower. (This may
expalin why some schools are ranked much higher than common wisdom
might imply, and other, notably Berkeley, Oxford and Cambridge are
ranked much lower.)

Missing Schools:
Asiaweek lists only 16 universities from Australia, 4 from New
Zealand, 5 for Hong Kong and 2 from Singapore. Given the NARIC
opinions listed above, I suspect that all of these countries'
institutions ought to be included. I could not find any relative
ranking of the others' universities, but the Good University Guide
gives a prestige mark for Australian schools. The remaining 24 can be
roughly placed:
