4 International Colleges & Universities is an international higher education search engine and directory reviewing accredited Universities and Colleges in the world. 4icu.org includes 11,000 Colleges and Universities, ranked by web popularity, in 200 countries.

The current ranking is based upon an algorithm including three unbiased and independent web metrics extracted from three different search engines:

• Google Page Rank
• Alexan Traffic Rank
• Majestic Seo Referring Domains

4icu.org does not rank the institutions or their programs by the quality of education or level of services provided. In fact, a note on the website specifically states that the 4icu.org University Web Ranking is ‘not an academic ranking and should not be adopted as the main criteria for selecting an higher education organization where to study’.
