USC is one of the best schools in the world, according to QS 2018 rankings
Cue the bragging rights
As if we needed reminding how great USC school is, we have officially been declared as one of the top 200 universities in the world.
The study, which judges the best 1000 universities across the planet, placed us at 132th. There are an estimated 26,000 universities in the world.
Beating our place of 136th last year, we also came in ahead of rivals like University of California Santa Barbara and Notre Dame. Better yet, we beat the Ivy League school Dartmouth, which came in at just 169th.
MIT, Stanford and Harvard all took the top spots for another year running.
The QS World University Rankings bases their scores on the expert opinions of 75,015 academics and 40,455 employers, also analyzing institutional research impact. It's known as the definitive guide of global university rankings.
USC has held the number 1 spot on QS's ranking for Communications and Media Studies for the past three years. So take that Yale!
