The
recent Quacquarelli Symonds regional ranking of Asian universities
reveals that the University of Southeastern Philippines is still one of
the best schools in Asia.
For
third year in a row, USeP, a state university in Davao City, joins the
roster of top Asian universities. According to QS University Rankings:
Asia, which is on its fifth edition, USeP occupies the 251-300 bracket.
This was the same bracket occupied by USeP last year, while it was rated
as top 201+ in 2011.
Also
for the third time, USeP ranks fifth among the Philippine universities
that made it to the list. The top four (4) slots were still occupied by
University of the Philippines; Ateneo de Manila University; University
of Santo Tomas; and De La Salle University.
“Staying
on the list of Asia’s top universities for three consecutive years is a
big achievement for the University, given the number of higher
educational institutions in Asia”, President Perfecto A. Alibin said.
The University President underscored that this is an output of the
concerted efforts of USeP administrators, faculty, staff, and students
.
USeP
is the only state university (outside of the UP system) and the only
school from Mindanao that made it to the top five (5) best schools in
the country per QS ranking.
QS
said on its website that the ranking is based on the following
criteria: academic reputation; employer reputation; faculty/student
ratio; papers per faculty; citations per paper; international faculty
review; international student review; student exchange inbound; and,
student exchange outbound.
QS
is the world’s leading network for top careers and education. It
launched the World University Rankings in 2004, and the Asian University
Rankings in 2009. (MCPagkaliwagan, USeP PIO)
