Recently, the global higher education research institution QS released the "2023 QS World University Rankings by Subject." In the 2023 rankings, QS compared and analyzed a total of 1,594 universities across 5 academic fields, 54 subjects, and over 15,700 individual programs.

According to the results, a total of 226 U.S. universities were included in the rankings, leading in 32 subjects. Harvard University performed exceptionally well, ranking first in 14 subjects, ranging from Arts and Humanities to Medicine, Biological Sciences, Law, Environmental Sciences, and more. It was followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which ranked first in 11 subjects, primarily focused on science and engineering, including Computer Science, Data Science, and Chemical Engineering—fields most frequently chosen by Chinese students.

These rankings cover 5 academic fields: Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Technology, Life Sciences and Medicine, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences and Management, as well as 51 specific subjects. Additionally, the 54 subjects include three that were ranked for the first time: Data Science, Marketing, and History of Art.

2023 QS Subject Ranking Criteria

Due to significant differences between disciplines, this comprehensive ranking uses different weightings for evaluation indicators across various subjects. The 2023 QS World University Rankings by Subject consist of five indicators: Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Citations per Paper, H-Index, and International Research Network (IRN) Index.

Academic Reputation: Professional scholars from the global academic community list the institutions they consider excellent in their specific fields of research. This score reflects a university's influence within the global academic community.

Employer Reputation: This data is derived from graduate employers, who identify institutions and corresponding subjects they believe perform exceptionally well in graduate recruitment. This serves as an important reference for the future employment prospects of a specific school or major.

Citations per Paper: This data is sourced from the abstract database Scopus. By understanding citation patterns, we can assess the academic strength and recognition of a school's research output in a specific field.

H-Index: This is a method for measuring the productivity and impact of published work by scientists or scholars. It allows us to see the research efficiency of a school or department and its attitude toward and support for research.

International Research Network (IRN) Index: This is an indicator introduced for the first time in the broader faculty area tables. It aims to assess the ability of universities to diversify the geography of their international research networks by establishing sustainable research partnerships with other higher education institutions.

Overall, U.S. universities continue to rank at the forefront. As is well known, the standard of education in the United States has always been praised worldwide, and it is a global leader in higher education. The U.S. possesses abundant educational resources, a comprehensive education system, and advanced educational philosophies, among many other advantages, attracting countless Chinese families and students. Today, "Educational planning, status first" has become an important option for many parents when planning their children's future growth path! A U.S. Green Card gives children more choices. With a U.S. Green Card, children enjoy the same 90%-95% admission quota as domestic students; in terms of costs, students holding a Green Card can enjoy the same tuition fees as domestic students, which is only one-third of that for international students. In short, Green Card status plays a pivotal role in every aspect of a child's school selection, internships, and job hunting.

Educational planning, status first. Currently, the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is an effective way to obtain a U.S. Green Card relatively quickly. The application requirements are flexible, with no restrictions on age, education, language, business, or work experience background.

Spouses and unmarried children under 21 can immigrate together.
