<p>what has been BC’s trend in terms of ranking and endowment over the last decade? i know they have been on the rise, but how much so? (numbers would help)</p>
<p>and what are your projections for the next decade?</p>
<p>Here are US News rankings throughout the years (starting in 1983).</p>
<p>[U.S</a>. News Rankings Through the Years](<a href=“http://web.archive.org/web/20070908192041/http://chronicle.com/stats/usnews/index.php?category=Universities&orgs=&sort=2007]U.S”>U.S. News Rankings Through the Years)</p>
<p>In terms of these rankings, BC has made good progress from being largely recognized as a T40 to being within 1-2 spots into braking into the top 30 (#31)</p>
<p>As for historical endowment trends:
[Historical</a> Endowment Growth - Endowment - Boston College](<a href=“http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/offices/endowment/endowmentgrowth.html]Historical”>http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/offices/endowment/endowmentgrowth.html)</p>
<p>Assuming adjusted for real value, generally a positive, upward trend. 2009 was a bad year due to the economic recession, although the institution seems to have found its feet again and is at an all time high. </p>
<p>I only expect for both the reputation and endowment to improve for the next decade.</p>
