Abstract: In this paper we propose a quantitative measure of the value added of Georgian universities and their programs, and create a ranking based on that measure. We find that there is a large variation in the rankings of individual programs within universities. At the university level, a comparison with the only available comprehensive ranking reveals that a value added-based ranking can produce very different results from existing popular rankings.
