University of Arizona: The University of Arizona is one of the world’s top higher education institutions, according to a major international ranking. The UA is ranked No. 93 out of nearly 20,000 global colleges and universities in the annual Center for World University Rankings (CWUR). UA also ranked No. 49 among U.S. institutions and No. 27 among public colleges and universities. The ranking places UA among the top 0.47% of universities worldwide. The number of faculty members who have won major academic distinctions contributed to the university’s strong showing. The university’s overall score (82.1 out of 100) was bolstered by its global quality of faculty ranking (No. 73) and research performance ranking (No. 107). CWUR places equal emphasis on student-related and faculty-related indicators, with no reliance on surveys and university data submissions.
