University of California (UC) campuses, we applaud you. Of the 400 international universities ranked in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings for 2011-12, eight UC campuses made the cut and were listed among the top 200.

UC Berkeley leads the group in 10th place, followed by UCLA in slot 13. The remaining six placed as follows.

UC San Diego, 33; UC Santa Barbara, 35; UC Davis, 38; UC Irvine, 86; UC Santa Cruz, 110; UC Riverside, 143.

  • Teaching — the learning environment (worth 30% of the overall ranking score)
  • Research — volume, income and reputation (worth 30%)
  • Citations — research influence (worth 30%)
  • Industry income — innovation (worth 2.5%)
  • International outlook — staff, students and research (worth 7.5%)

    What? You mean there is a purely academic ranking that can't be influenced by the USC public relations office? You mean popular weekly magazines rankings that consider foolish factors like beer pong who place them right next to, if not above UCLA, are in disagreement with a global academic ranking that has them 42 spaces apart? LOL...I'm floored.

    Go Beavers!

  • Well done to the UC campuses. However, LAist, no love for the campus that ranked first?

    Instate Californians displaced at admission for $50,600 payment and a foreign passport at UCLA:

    the need for transparency has never been so clear. Chancellor
    Robert J Birgeneau ($500,000 salary) displaces qualified for public university
    education at Cal.
    instate Californians for a $50,600 payment and a foreign passport.

     

    UC Berkeley, ranked # 70 Forbes, is not increasing
    enrollment.  Birgeneau accepts $50,600
    FOREIGN students at the expense of qualified Californians.

     

    UC Regent Chairwoman Lansing and President Yudof agree to discriminating
    against instate Californians for foreigners. Birgeneau, Yudof, Lansing need to answer to Californians.

     

    Your opinion makes a difference; email UC Board of
    Regents   marsha.kelman@ucop.edu
