WSJ - U.S. College Rankings

[Sea Goat]

Generally good news for UConn - although all of these rankings done by media sources are somewhat skewed. We rate at #109 over-all, including all private universities and small colleges. Not that CR decisions are based on quality of a school; ie. see Louisville, but we rate ahead of many Big 12 and ACC schools. see The Top U.S. Colleges

Just more evidence of the quality school UConn has become.

If you're not first, you're last. Gotta do better.

President Herbst cited UConn's ranking in Money Magazine as something she's very proud of (it takes post-graduation starting salary into account). UConn is #38 and ahead of several schools with excellent reputations.

The Money rankings are more accurate. They have UConn ahead of Duke.

The Money rankings are more accurate. They have UConn ahead of Duke.

Cost for a year at Duke is really high, which is probably the reason why they are lower.

I just got a chance to look at these this morning, and I thought they track really well with what I know of the ratings done by Carnegie and others. This is so much better than USNWP and it wouldn't surprise me if the WSJ overtook USN in say 10 years time.

College Rankings

I'd note for instance that Buffalo is the top SUNY, well ahead of Clemson which is always ranked too high by USN. Boston U. is also ahead of Boston College, which makes perfect sense to me.

I just tried the link and it is a pay link. Any chance you can let us know where UConn landed?

Both WSJ and USNWR are easily skewed and not really accurate. If any academic ranking is actually being considered for conference expansion, I would suspect that either QS World University Rankings or Times Higher Education World University Rankings are being used. They might even use Shanghai University Rankings, but that completely disregards anything outside of science and research
