MSU has improved its ranking in the 2025 QS World University Rankings!

MSU has improved its ranking in the 2025 QS World University Rankings! In the recently published 2025 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings in Asia, Mindanao State University (MSU) has been ranked 801+ among the top universities in Asia. The QS Asia rankings are based on several factors, including academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, and citations per paper. MSU's inclusion in the rankings is a testament to the university's commitment to academic excellence and research. It is worth noting that the MSU System is composed of 11 constituent universities and colleges. The data provided by QS Asia had MSU-IIT excluded from the system with its own higher ranking. This means that MSU in the ranking represents the 10 constituent universities and colleges of the system, namely: MSU Main Marawi, MSU Tawi-Tawi College of Technology and Oceanography, MSU General Santos, MSU Naawan, MSU Maguindanao, MSU Sulu, MSU Buug, MSU Lanao College of Arts and Trades, MSU Maigo School of Arts and Trades, and MSU Lanao Agricultural College. Congratulations to the MSU System! #OneMSU #DakilangPamantasan
