The University of California system is a public-university powerhouse, according to a new list from the Center for World University Rankings.

Of the top 10 best public universities in the country, the UC system contributes four to the list, sweeping the top four spots. America's top public university on CWUR's list - the University of California, Berkeley - ranked seventh overall globally.

CWUR uses eight indicators to determine its rankings, including quality of education, alumni employment, and influence. The organization also credits itself as the only ranking that doesn't rely on survey or university data.
