Global higher education research company QS Quacquarelli Symonds just released the 11th annual World University Rankings by Subject.
QS published lists for 51 academic subjects this year, covering a wide variety of disciplines that fall into five broad categories. This includes history, law, various types of engineering, and business and management studies.
To calculate a school's overall score and rank them with other schools from across the globe, QS looks at the academic reputation, employer reputation, research citations per paper, and h-index for each school. QS describes the h-index as an index that is "based on the set of the academic's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications."
Weights for these four metrics varied by subject. The full methodology can be found on QS' website.
Harvard and MIT both landed at the very top of the lists among US universities for 12 academic subjects. For the global business and management studies ranking, Harvard was No. 1 and MIT was No. 4.
The following are the top 20 US schools from the business and management studies ranking, including where they placed on the overall list. All the various subject rankings and the full business and management studies table can be found on QS' website.
