Universities Ranking of China released by CUAA (Chinese Universities Alumni Association, Chinese: 中国校友会网; CUAA.net) is a domestic university rankings in China. This ranking is operated by a commercial company instead of a registered organization, and is not recognized by the Chinese government or any higher education institution in China.[1]
The initiation of the CUAA-Team of China University Evaluation can be traced back to the Research Group of Comparative Studies of Universities in Chinese Academy of Management Science founded in 1989. The Team has the longest history of consistent evaluation and study of Chinese universities with over 30 years.[2] The alumni-related data considers notable politicians, academics at home and abroad, distinguished scholars in humanities and social sciences, and billionaires who graduated from Chinese higher education institutions after the 1952 reorganisation of the sector.[3]
