100 Best colleges for Multimedia in the United States

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in the United States ranked based on their research performance in Multimedia. A graph of 2.41M citations received by 140K academic papers made by 432 universities in the United States was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.

Please note that our approach to subject rankings is based on scientific outputs and heavily biased on art-related topics towards institutions with computer science research profiles.
