phantasmagoric:

Another humanities ranking:

QS World University Rankings - Top universities

Not a very useful one. Look at the subject areas it claims to rank. Only 3 areas - English, modern languages, and philosophy - are actually in the humanities. Among the missing subject areas are:


[Insert] studies
Art history
Classics
Gender studies
Music (theory/history)
Religion
Theatre


The best ranking (if one insists on having one) of humanities programs remains the old 1995 NRC ranking, though I would personally tweak it a little, particularly for undergraduates – for example, the same options are not always available to a CUNY undergrad as someone at the CUNY Graduate Center, and some of NYU’s most prestigious humanities programs are open to graduate students only (IFA, ISAW, etc.).
