Overall, the CWUR rankings evaluate universities and colleges on the following four indicators:

• Quality of Education: based on the academic success of a university’s alumni
• Alumni Employability: based on the professional success of a university’s alumni
• Quality of Faculty: measured by the number of faculty members who have won prestigious academic distinctions
• Research Performance: based on research output
