Un programa de posgrado se debe ajustar a los intereses del estudiante y no el estudiante a los intereses del posgrado. En la escogencia del programa indicado, los rankings pueden ser de gran utilidad para establecer comparaciones a partir de diferentes elementos de juicio entre programas.
Un ranking es un listado de programas, facultades o universidades ordenado y puntuado de acuerdo con la calidad académica. Buena parte de quienes toman decisiones para ingresar al mundo académico se ayudan de los rankings que existen sobre las diversas universidades y programas. Sin embargo, la ausencia de clasificaciones globales y aceptadas unánimemente hace necesario profundizar un poco en el tema para saber cuáles son los aciertos y vacíos que existentes en estos procedimientos.
