I've never been a fan of rankings... this one just seems a bit more comprehensive than USNWR, and almost as current. Might as well put it out there, eah?


"The rankings cover 5,000 doctoral programs in 62 fields at 212 institutions and is billed as the largest comparative analysis of its sort to date. The rankings are based on 2006 data, which makes them rather dated."

There's a cool excel file you can download and play with, that gives you multiple classes of rankings for each program based on myriad different variables.

Interesting if nothing else.

-First column: University name
-Second column: Department
-Third column: 5th percentile (I'm assuming you read this like you would percentile rank, the lower the number, the closer to the top)
-Fourth column: 95th percentile (the second end of the confidence interval for the rank)
