Penn State receives 5 star-rating from QS Stars
In addition, for the first time Penn State participated in the QS Stars rating process, receiving 5 stars. Developed by QS to provide universities with an additional avenue to publicly highlight their strengths, the highest rating is awarded to those universities that, according to QS, “display exceptional performance and quality standards.” The goal of the QS Stars process is to offer potential students an innovative way to help narrow down their choice of schools via the QS system. Each institution receives an overall rating of 0 to 5+ Stars, as well as 0 to 5 Stars in at least eight of 13 key categories, including cost, housing, study abroad, research and job placement, among other variables. The data is then able to be compared by students based on what they choose as their own priorities.
The release of the QS World University Rankings by Subject follows the June 2023 release of the 2023 QS Overall World University Rankings, in which Penn State ranked No. 83 in the world, placing the University in the top 6% worldwide among the 1,500 institutions ranked by QS.
