Which Louisianan universities are the best? In response, shikhadikkha releases the 2024 shikhadikkha University Ranking, which includes 25 Louisiana higher education institutions that satisfy the following shikhadikkha selection standards, being recognized by the relevant US higher education-related body as chartered, licensed, or accredited, providing at least three-year bachelor’s degrees, as well as postgraduate master’s or doctorate degrees; and primarily offering courses in conventional, in-person learning formats.
Instead of using information supplied by the universities themselves, shikhadikkha seeks to produce a non-academic League Table of the best universities in Louisiana using reliable, objective, and non-influenceable online metrics from independent web intelligence sources.
