EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Latin America ranked based on their research performance in Electrical Engineering. A graph of 3.11M citations received by 245K academic papers made by 304 universities in Latin America 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.
