<p>In 1995 US News had sub-list of top National schools that focused on undergrad teaching. I believe it was Dartmouth, Brown, William & Mary as the top three.</p>
<p>Does anyone know why they didnt continue this ranking? It would be much more helpful than the current ones for kids and families. </p>
<p>Does anyone have the complete list? Hawkette?</p>
<p>I remember hearing about that. The head honchos at HYP bribed USN&WR into discontinuing it, as it was hurting their reputations (Harvard was at #16 or 17).</p>

<p>In recognition of the widespread public concern about the quality and effectiveness of teaching on the nation's campuses, U.S. News this year for the first time asked presidents, provosts and deans of admission to select the 10 schools in their category where the faculty "has an unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching." Here are the colleges and universities that received the most votes:</p>
