Many California Universities Score in the Top 10 and 100 of Times Higher Education Worldwide Rankings of 2013-2014. These rankings are really last year’s, and new ones are expected in a few months.
First, since this is a UC Irvine blog, I point out that in the Universities under 50 years old, UC Irvine placed #5 worldwide. Other American Universities in the top 50 under 50 are UC Santa Cruz #11, U. Texas at Dallas #15, and U. Illinois at Chicago #19. This means that UCI placed first in the US for universities under 50 years old. Next year we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary, so this standing will not last long.
Now for the main California Universities, the world rankings and average SAT scores are to the left of their names. The number of students in each is to the right.
