U.S. News & World Report believes that since an increasing number of students plan to enroll in universities outside of their own country, the Best Global Universities Rankings – which focus specifically on schools’ academic research and reputation overall and not on their separate undergraduate or graduate programs – can help those applicants accurately compare institutions around the world (https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/ivane-javakhishvili-tbilisi-state-university-528844).
