𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | MMSU ranks 60th globally in 2026 WURI

By Ian Paul Villanueva

Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) secured 60th place worldwide in the 2026 World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI), marking its highest ranking since entering the list in 2021 and sustaining its position within the Global Top 100 for the second time.

The university improved from 89th in 2025 and 107th in 2024, after previously placing within the 101–200 bracket. With its placement in the 2026 rankings, the university continues to lead Region I state universities and colleges.

Notably, MMSU placed 9th in the world in the AI-Based Teaching and Learning Transformation category, WURI’s new addition to this year’s 24-category framework. The category assessed how well the university integrates AI tools in education to enhance the learning experiences of students.

MMSU also broke into the Global Top 20 in four other areas, namely Social Impact through Knowledge Transfer (Rank 12), Industrial Application (Rank 12), Interdisciplinary, Convergent, and Integrated Research (Rank 14), and Digital and AI Transformation in Strategy and Management (Rank 16).

Across the 17 categories in which MMSU was ranked, the university ranked within the Global Top 100 in all entries, with most rankings in the Top 50. This reflects that MMSU consistently performs strongly above many global peers.

For MMSU President Virgilio Julius P. Manzano, Jr., MMSU’s steady ascent in the WURI rankings reflects how the university has institutionalized many of its best practices that benefit its stakeholders, primarily the students.

“Our steady improvement in these rankings proves that our achievement is not just a one-time success; it demonstrates how we have successfully institutionalized excellence within our frameworks,” said Dr. Manzano. He credited this accomplishment to the strong leadership of MMSU's 7th President and current CHED Chairperson, Dr. Shirley C. Agrupis. “Let this achievement motivate us all to aim higher and continuously enhance the services we provide to our stakeholders,” Dr. Manzano added.

The 2026 WURI Rankings looked at 24 categories spread across three axes: Axis 1: Innovation Targets (For Whom to Innovate?), Axis 2: Innovation Means (How to Innovate?), and Axis 3: Innovation Targets (What to Innovate?).
