List of universities and colleges in Nepal

This is a list of universities and colleges in Nepal. Prior to the establishment of the first college in the country, Tri-Chandra College in 1918, higher education in Nepal was nonexistent. Until 1985, Tribhuvan University had remained the one and the only university in Nepal. In the early 1980s, His Majesty's Government developed the concept of a multi-university system for the country. One important assumption behind the concept was that each new university should have a distinctive nature, content and function of its own.

The first new university that was established was Mahendra Sanskrit University. The inception of this university was soon followed by Kathmandu University in 1990, Purbanchal and Pokhara Universities in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Many schools and colleges are run by private initiatives but none of the universities in Nepal are private.

Academic Ranking of World Universities

Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), also known as Shanghai Ranking, is an annual publication of university rankings by Shanghai Ranking Consultancy.
The league table was originally compiled and issued by Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2003, the first global ranking with multifarious indicators, after which a board of international advisories was established to provide suggestions. The publication currently includes world's overall and subject league tables, alongside independent regional Greater China Ranking and Macedonian HEIs Ranking. ARWU is regarded as one of the most influential and widely observed university measures, alongside QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education World University Rankings. It is praised for its objective methodology but draws some condemnation for narrowly focusing on raw research power, undermining humanities and quality of instruction.

Mid Western University

Mid Western University is a state-run university in Surkhet, the regional headquarters of the midwestern development region of Nepal. As part of the Nepal government's policy to establish regional universities to expand easy access of higher education to the people of this region, the government of Nepal formed a team in 07-12-2007 to establish Mid Western University in Birendranagar by 2009.

It serves as a regional university for the Mid-western Development Regions of Nepal. This university is expected to make the change of strategy over the education system of this region. The locals are very happy by the decision of the government. They had contributed significantly into the fundraising program started by the preparation committee led by Bhushan Manandhar. About 220 bighas of land and 15 million Nepali rupees were raised from the enthusiastic people in this small town. Moti Prasad Sapkota, a philanthropist and education supporter, became the biggest donor by financing a million Nepali rupees toward the establishment of this higher education endeavor.

List of universities in Canada

Universities Canada, an organisation composed of Canadian universities, defines two distinct types of post-secondary institutions in Canada: universities and colleges. Universities grant university degrees, which include bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees; and colleges, also known as community colleges, provide diplomas.

Canada's post-secondary opportunities revolve around a wide range of university options. Throughout Canada's 13 provinces and territories, there are 98 universities to choose from. With a population of over 34 million as of 2012, 1.8 million are enrolled in a specific university. This averages out to 18 thousand students per university. Programs are offered to graduating high school students through choice, however, students must maintain specific entering averages, which generally range from 65-85%, depending on criteria set by the chosen university. On campus residences are available at 95% of universities in Canada. Most include a meal plan and general utilities. Residence is optional at all post-secondary campuses.

Degree programs last four years in addition to possible co-op opportunities and college affiliation for a hands-on approach to programs. Tuition is based on program material and content which varies in price. Generally, a first year student in an arts or science faculty will experience a broad range of courses while "program specific courses" begin in year two. Sometimes, admission to such a program may be based on internal university acceptance (i.e. a set grade point average must be achieved).

Rankings of universities in Canada

Several publications in Canada release annual rankings of Canadian Universities. Most notably, rankings of universities in Canada is published annually by news magazineMaclean's under the name Maclean's University Rankings which began in 1991. Other publications include online sources such as The World University Rankings and CollegeSage's annual Canadian University Rankings.The primary aim of the rankings is to inform potential undergraduate applicants about Canadian universities based on a range of criteria, including student body characteristics, classes, faculty, finances, library, and reputation. The rankings are split into three categories: schools that focus on undergraduate studies with few to no graduate programs, schools that have both extensive undergraduate studies and an extensive selection of graduate programs and schools that have a professional medical program and a selection of graduate programs. A notable difference between rankings in the United States and Maclean's rankings, however, is that Maclean's excludes privately–funded universities.

In 2012, the Higher Education Strategy Associates published a study ranking Canadian Universities based on research strength. The study ranks Canadian Universities in two broad fields: Science and Engineering, and Social Sciences and Humanities.

Starting in 2014, launched its 2015 which focuses mainly on undergraduate education. These rankings were created from surveying over 1000 undergraduate students and alumni in Canada across 9 key categories. The guide includes rankings, university profiles, and statistical analysis of its own data as well as publicly available data in order to provide students with unique insights. These are available for free to students online.
