The Top 50 Agriculture Colleges in the World

By Paul Rusnak|March 18, 2019

No matter the subject, being at the top of your class comes with accolade as well as bragging rights, according to an article on GrowingProduce.com. Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) knows a thing or two about the collegiate elite and has just released its 2019 QS World University Ranking by Subject report. Among the nearly 50 different fields of focus in the report stands overachievers in agricultural education and research.

According to QS, each of the subject rankings is compiled using four components. The first two (academic reputation and employer reputation) are obtained via global surveys of academics and employers. The second two analyze research impact based on research citations per paper and h-index in the relevant subject. These are sourced from Elsevier’s Scopus database.

This is the seventh year the London-based education marketing and networking firm has compiled rankings specifically for Agriculture & Forestry.
