academic ratings
Academic ratings are evaluations that measure the quality of academic institutions, programs, or specific research outputs based on various factors such as faculty quality, research impact, student outcomes, and resources. These ratings help students, parents, and institutions understand the institution’s reputation and strengths. They often combine multiple data points into a score or ranking, providing a comparative view of academic excellence. While useful for guidance, ratings are only one aspect to consider alongside individual goals, program offerings, and personal fit when choosing or assessing educational options.
