It ended up with a total score of 37.8 out of 100.
That’s an almost constant slide since 2015 when the university reached 171 in those global sweepstakes.
According to QS, the U of C’s weakest criteria was its student faculty, which scored 27.2, while its greatest strength was in its international faculty, at 82.9 points.
“It’s not a fall reducible to a single issue — in fact, the University of Calgary’s fallen in all six of the indicators that we use to compile the rankings,” QS spokesman Jack Moran said in an email.
“It’s dropped 11 places for Academic Reputation, based on the insights of 102,000 academics worldwide about university quality. It’s dropped 19 places for Employer Reputation.”
