<p>I am trying to compare these high ranked universities (according to the Times, first and second ranked universities in the world) for an academic applying for a tenured faculty position.
Incidently I would also loke to know which universities are considered the best in the following field:Business Management, Economics Computer Science, Engineering & Medical Science.
Please provide proof for your assertations (links to web pages, statistics, research surveys etc.)
A College Confidential wide poll would be VERY VERY nice !!!</p>
<p>Gathering data now ...</p>
<p>Economics, in groupings of five:</p>
<p>Harvard
Chicago
MIT
Berkeley
Stanford</p>
<p>Penn
Princeton
Yale
Michigan
Columbia</p>
<p>Wisconsin
Northwestern
UCLA
UCSD
Cal Tech/Columbia</p>
<p>Of course, depending on what your interest is in econ, different departments rank differently.</p>
