Harvard Should Watch The Throne, Caltech Stole #1 Spot (University Ratings)

Wow, Harvard should start listening to Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “Watche The Throne” album, especially if they want to regain the #1 spot next year.

According to TIME; “Harvard has toppled off its lofty perch. On Thursday, Times Higher Education (THE) published its annual list of the world’s best colleges, and there’s a new frontrunner in the game. California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, snagged the top spot, beating the Harvard.”

The #1 spot now belongs to the underdog. The idea of Caltech ranking higher than Harvard is almost unheard of, but it’s true. Scroll down to see the Times Higher Education grid for “The World University Rankings 2011-2012.”
