EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in the United States ranked based on their research performance in International Law. A graph of 136K citations received by 16.8K academic papers made by 140 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.
