Setting the Gold Standard for Academic Rankings

With findings on more than 50 schools sourced from 43,000 individuals, this highly anticipated publication gives young people and their parents the information they need to make one of the most important decisions of their lives. Every year, students, administrators, professors and alumni use our Canadian University Report magazine to both plan and understand how the Canadian education landscape is changing.

The Globe and Mail's Education WebsiteUnlike some rankings, The Globe presents a rich, multi-dimensional overview, one that recognizes that there's no "one size fits all" solution to higher education. Different people and stakeholders have their own sets of criteria, and our Report Card lets them quickly drill down to the offerings and issues that matter most to them.

That's why, in addition to the enormous media interest the publication of this annual round-up receives, smart education marketers sit up and pay attention.

After all, few vehicles deliver an audience so intent on making the right decision, and so prepared to commit to it once that decision's made.
  
 
The new 2009 Canadian University Report magazine was once again enthusiastically received by Globe and Mail readers and enjoyed substantial coverage in other news media.

The 2009 issue includes the results of our survey of more than 40,000 students and grades more than 50 Canadian universities in all areas of student experience. In addition to reviewing classrooms, residences, research labs, libraries, athletic fields, cafeterias and more, the Report Card included smart editorial features covering the latest trends and issues on Canadian campuses.

Now in its 7th year, the Canadian University Report (formerly University Report Card) is the centrepiece of our globecampus.ca website, which includes video tours of 20 campuses, plus an online insider's guide with profiles of all surveyed campuses. The website also features The Globe's popular University Navigator, a searchable database of university indicators compiled by our partners at the Educational Policy Institute.
