It ensures fairness by using objective web metrics to assess universities’ online impact. Universities are chosen based on specific criteria, including accreditation by the appropriate education authorities, offering bachelor’s or postgraduate degrees, and delivering courses in a traditional, non-distance education format.
This recognition for NwSSU indeed marks an ongoing set of efforts to enhance academic excellence together with expanding opportunities for its students, faculty members, and researchers. NwSSU remains committed to fostering a supportive and innovative learning environment. The top 60 placement in UniRank is not only a testament to the university’s progress but also a reflection of the hard work and dedication of its community. As NwSSU continues to climb in rankings, it reaffirms its commitment to shaping future leaders and scholars in the Eastern Visayas region and beyond.
