MANILA, Philippines - The University of the Philippines (UP) and the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) are among the top 50 English-teaching universities in the world , education and career network QS reported.

State-run UP in Diliman, Quezon City is the country's top English-teaching university this year, ranking 34th in the world, followed closely by private school ADMU at 35th place.

De La Salle University (DLSU) was in the 50-100 bracket while University of Santo Tomas (UST) belonged to the 101-150 bracket.

QS did not provide specific ranks for universities that did not make it to the top 50.

Schools from the United States dominated the top 10 list of English-teaching universities: Harvard University (1st), University of California, Berkeley (4th), Yale University (5th), Columbia University (6th), Stanford University (8th), University of California, Los Angeles (9th) and University of Chicago (10th).

University of Oxford and University of Cambridge, which are both in the United Kingdom, ranked 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

University of Toronto in Canada, meanwhile, landed in 7th place.

QS announced the top 200 universities in Asia last May, and 4 Philippine schools made it to the list. UP ranked 62nd, followed by ADMU (65th), UST (104th) and DLSU (107th).

Kabataan party-list Rep. Raymond Palatino earlier lamented that except for UP, all of the country's state colleges and universities (SUCs) are still neglected by the government .

While it was swiftly corrected when brought to the attention of the editors, highlighted just how difficult it can be to size up online institutions in the current environment.

Brian Kelly, editor of U.S. News, this week sent out a memo to more than 1,000 officials at online colleges and university-based online programs notifying them that, over the next few weeks, the publication would be soliciting data from their institutions with an eye to ranking programs that are delivered at least 80 percent online. The target for release of the inaugural U.S. News online program rankings is mid-October.

“With the rapid growth of online programs in higher education, prospective students are asking for more, and more useful, data to make informed choices,” Kelly wrote in the memo. “We are creating a site that will bring the same quality of information to online consumers, and the same opportunity for schools to connect with those students, that we’ve brought to brick and mortar institutions over the last three decades.”

U.S. News is taking aim at just a few types of online programs this time around: master’s programs in business, computer information technology , education, engineering, and nursing; and baccalaureate programs. (These are the programs with the highest online enrollments, according to U.S. News.) The publication will not be sizing up any online associate or doctoral degree programs , nor will it be ranking institutions overall, as it does with traditional colleges and universities.

The formulas for these rankings have not been determined. But the online versions could differ from the traditional rankings in several ways, said U.S. News officials. For example, the initial rankings will not include peer-assessment scores, in which college presidents rank institutions that are similar to their own — historically one of the publication’s most controversial metrics.

The rankings arrive at a time when typing “best online colleges” into an Internet search engine is more likely to bring a potential student to a lead-generation website — a site that collects their contact information and educational interests and sells it to recruiters — than any kind of rigorous, data-driven assessor of various online options.

U.S. News hopes to provide a tool for evaluating online programs based on “old-fashioned” data collection and analysis, said Robert Morse , the director of the rankings.
