The latest global universities ranking has been released by Times Higher Education, putting the UK's Oxford University at the top of the pile. Institutions are ranked based on five indicators: teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industry income. On this basis, the UK and United States completely dominate the top of the list, with only one other country represented in the first 15 - Switzerland with ETH Zurich in 15th place. Colleges & Universities - Statistics & Facts Published by Erin Duffin, Feb 26, 2021Colleges and universities are institutions of higher education. The distinction between the two is not always clear in the United States. It can be said though, that most colleges focus on undergraduate studies, while universities offer both undergraduate and graduate level education. Furthermore, universities are research-oriented institutions while colleges are generally focused on education. Most colleges offer four-year programs culminating in a Bachelor’s degree. Additionally, universities offer graduate programs that typically end in a Master’s degree or doctoral degree. As noted above, these distinctions aren’t set in stone and there are colleges that carry the name university and vice versa. In the United States, there are private and public institutions of higher education. Public universities are administered at a state level and receive funding from the state government. Private institutions do not receive public funding and have to rely on endowments and student tuition to cover their ever-increasing costs. As a result, tuition at private colleges and universities is typically higher than at public institutions. In general, higher education in the United States is costly and many students have to rely on scholarships, student loans or grants in order to attend college or university. Even though the costs of education have steeply increased over the last 50 years, the percentage of the population with at least a college degree has never been higher than today. In 2019, 35.4 percent of the male population and 36.6 percent of the female population held at least a college degree. In 1959, this rate was at 10.3 and six percent for the male and female population respectively. College enrollment data reflects this trend as well. In 2018, almost 20 million Americans were enrolled in college, up from less than six million in 1965. The United States is home to some of the most renowned universities in the world. Schools, such as Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton are frequently ranked among the best universities worldwide. The eight schools comprising the Ivy League (the universities of Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, and Brown plus Dartmouth College) are especially known for academic excellence. An international business school ranking, based on average alumni salary, is dominated by U.S. schools, with six of the top 10 schools being located in the United States. Earning a degree at an Ivy League school like Columbia University requires a considerable upfront investment however, with annual tuition and fees amounting to 64,380 U.S. dollars, according to this college ranking, based on annual student costs.
