<p>If you thought Forbes was bad (placing Dartmouth at #30), ARWU 2010 places Dartmouth outside the top 150 schools worldwide, leaving it unranked among schools in the 151-200 range.</p>

<p>The full list can be accessed through <a href="http://www.arwu.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.arwu.org&lt;/a> but the site is down at the moment so you might want to try accessing it through this second-hand site that has a pdf version:

<p>Cool. ARWU is primarily a graduate school ranking. Dartmouth focuses primarily on undergrad education. Thus, we will not do well in a ranking of grad programs. (I wouldn’t trade my undergrad at Dartmouth for anything, I would probably never do my grad here, unless I wanted to go to tuck).</p>

<p>how does princeton do so well in the world rankings? Arent they mainly focused on undergraduate education too?</p>

4

<p>Princeton has tons of superb Ph.D. programs in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Not surprising at all that it does so well. A very different situation from Dartmouth, which is truly focused on undergraduate education.</p>

5

<p>None of the elite liberal arts colleges made the list either, further showing how this list is graduate degree focused.</p>

6

<p>Well duh…it ranks world universities. I wouldn’t go here for my phd either, but that doesn’t mean I’m not getting an amazing education on the way to my bachelors.</p>

<p>Wait shouldn’t it be the 2011 rankings?? I think these are old.</p>
