Colombia’s universities are the third best in Latin America, trailing only Brazil and Mexico’s, according to the 2014 QS Latin America University Rankings, released Wednesday.
Colombia’s top universities
2014 2013 School
5 4 Los Andes University
14 9 National University
23 32 University of Antioquia
31 20 Xavierian Pontificate University

67 57 University of Sabana
69 67 Santander Ind. University

With a total of 41 universities in the top 300, Colombia ranks ahead of perhaps more recognized countries like Argentina and Chile, which came in at fourth and fifth place, respectively.

The rankings are calculated based on seven indicators, including academic reputation, student satisfaction, student-teacher ratios, the impact of research, and professors’ levels of qualification.

The University of the Andes was the top-ranked in Colombia and fifth overall in Latin America, reported Caracol Radio. The Bogota-based university has consistently placed within Latin America’s top 10 since QS began releasing its annual reports in 2011.
