Understanding Rating, Ranking, and Benchmarking in Higher Education

This article explores the distinct roles of rating, ranking, and benchmarking in the context of higher education, particularly business programs. Ratings provide external benchmarks for trust-building, while rankings measure transparency and competition through league tables. Benchmarking focuses on internal and external comparisons to enhance processes and status without specific rankings. It highlights the CHE model's unique approach to evaluating BA programs based on employability metrics, emphasizing methodological skills, social skills, work experience, and international exposure. The CHE also promotes transparency and cooperation among educational institutions.
