<p>Some great results in the new 2010-2011 Times Higher Education World University Rankings:</p>
<p>10th in North America:
Top</a> Universities in North America 2010-2011</p>
<p>13th in the world:
Top</a> 200 - The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2010-2011</p>
<p>That is about right for research universities.</p>
<p>Woot! Although I wonder why Hopkins tends to hold #13 internationally no matter the ranking… </p>
<p>Plus, according to the NSF, Hopkins is #1 for research funding/greatest amount of research being done</p>
<p>When will JHU finally be numbuh 1?</p>
<p>Assuming those on this thread are looking at obtaining an undergraduate, i.e. baccalaureate degree, it should be stated that world or other rankings of universities are irrelevant. A great university may have super graduate and professional schools but a frankly crummy and de-emphasized undergraduate experience. Look at college rankings (top LACs in addition to universities) and later worry about where you should get your PhD, after a top notch undergraduate education.</p>
<p>^ JHU prides itself in a top notch undergraduate experience that is very much tied into their graduate programs (study opportunity wise). </p>
<p>The US News, World Rankings, and Times Higher Education all do undergrad, not grad. For grad, they have specific rankings (Med, Public Health, Engineering, etc.). In undergraduate fields, JHU stands out as well, especially in Public Health, Biophysics, Biology, BME, Chemical and Biomolecular Eng, Writing Seminars, Physics, IR, Chemistry, East Asian studies to name a few. Its pre med to med acceptance rate is one of the best in the entire US, and its pre law to law acceptance is unheard of in these competitive times!</p>
<p>I understand what you mean about rankings, and that if you choose Johns Hopkins for its very high rank, then you will most likely suffer, but I disagree that they are totally irrelevant. I found the rankings as a good reference point when I started my college search.</p>
<p>And from the Washington Post regarding the newly released NRC rankings:
“Locally, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore earns premiere rankings in history, astrophysics, linguistics, neurobiology and nursing, among other fields, meaning that Hopkins is listed among a handful of schools whose ranking could be as high as one, two or three.”

Yes these are graduate school rankings.</p>
