<p>does the ranking of a schools specific graduate program accurately reflect the the quality of the undergraduate program, particularly anthropology</p>
<p>I would like to know this exact question as well (anthropology and all).</p>
<p>usually not</p>
<p>Usually yes.</p>
<p>Nope</p>
<p>A good grad program focuses on size, grants, graduate/professor research</p>
<p>A good undergrad focuses on individual attention, resources per student, undergraduate research opportunities</p>
<p>They aren't completely separate though, especially at smaller schools with stronger graduate programs</p>
<p>Depends on the field. In the case of the Humanities and Social Sciences, there is a strong correlation between undergraduate and graduate departments. </p>
<p>In Engineering and the Sciences, the quality between a university's undergraduate and graduate departments may fluctuate. Fortunately, undergraduate Engineering departments are actually ranked quite accurately, so one doesn't have to depend on graduate rankings. However, there are no reliable rankings for undergraduate departments in the hard sciences.</p>
