Secondly, 15 relevant variables were selected and then combined with multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (MFCE) model and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model to obtain the composite index of all the American universities and colleges. Subsequently, American universities and colleges were ranked in accordance with the index and those with top rankings deserved more investment. Finally, the sensitivity analysis was conducted on the scoring and ranking of American universities and colleges.
