Northcentral is a top school among the best 12000 of the world

I now that NCU has been the target of few critics lately so wanted to share this ranking that puts NCU in position 7544 out of 12000.

Ranking Web by Country: Top Colleges and Best Universities of United States of America

This ranking is a bit better than other schools discussed here such as Charter Oak State College ranked in position 7591 or Trident (not even in the 12000) and not so far from other discussed schools here such as Sullivan U (4475).

 

I don't have an opinion either way on NCU but I wouldn't say that being in the bottom 50% of the list makes it a "top school".

 

It appears that the list of rankings reviewed Trident's predecessor, TUI University, which was ranked 9535. See: Ranking Web by Country: Top Colleges and Best Universities of United States of America

 

I'd have to agree. In comparison the CC I graduated from, Tidewater CC, ranks 2815th.

 

Completely. Liberty U ranked just above the US Naval Academy. Now, I think Liberty is pretty good, but it's nowhere NEAR Annapolis-level.

 

Yeah, I think any ranking that places an Ivy League school (Brown) at #103 isn't very credible.

 

Still wouldn't trust NCU with my dry cleaning, let alone my education.

(subtitled: who makes a top 12000 list anyway? That's like ranking mediocrity in little increments.)

 

The webometrics rankings are designed to rank a school's web presence, not overall quality:

20% Web size
15% Rich files
15% Google scholar
50% Link visibility

Not saying NCU is not a quality school, I'm sure that it is.

Also, webometrics is the only website I can think of with a .info address that isn't a scam or total junk.

 

I don't trust rankings in general but if we're going to take this thing at face value and you've asked the question,"How does that sound?" I'd say it sounds like Northcentral is a fourth tier RA school in the USA. Nothing to be ashamed of but nothing to brag about either.

 

That is totally rude, prejudiced and unfair! I have my dry cleaning done there regularly and they do a great job!

 

I am not sure why I am stuck on Al madinah International U. Anyway it was ranked 6905. For less than $10,000 a PHD it is difficult to argue against these schools. Based on the Ranking, University of south Africa is still a great deal, ranking at 1221. Stellenbosch ranks at 540 with a distance PHD in finance. why spend $50k plus, when you can have a world ranked Phd for under $10k?

 

I think nobody would argue that UNISA is a better school than NCU but the main issue seems to be bias and prejudice.

If you live in the US, it would be very hard to explain why you decided to go all the way to Africa for your doctorate. NCU, on the other hand, sounds like any no name University in the US so it won't be questioned unless you decide to go for a tenure track position.

 

They do a fine job with cleaning...but the service sucks and they just raised the prices...again.

 

I prepared a rank based on the webometrics system for online american schools and the results make sense to me besides UoP that should be at the bottom

1 Nova (655)
2 Walden (2455)
3 University of Phoenix (2615)
4 Capella (3861)
5 Sullivan University (4475)
6 Devry University (4,581)
7 Argosy (4810)
8 Northcentral University (6,427)
9 Jones International University(7523)
10 TUIU (Trident) (9535)

 

I am not bashing NCU, but it looks like mgmt is trying its hardest to put ncu out of business.

 

True!!! But it seems to have gone over everyone's heads. LOL

 

Hear, hear!
