<p>Something is OBVIOUSLY wrong with these rankings (4th post)</p>

<p>This was 2008, but in general USNEWS always has Lehigh's biz school ranked ridiculously low, when it's clearly an excellent program. Why?</p>

<p>Without knowing much about the details (and several categories of these details were used by the the ranking agent), I would guess that the competition has higher scores. You can’t question comparisons when isolating a program and independently judging that program as “excellent”. You have got to dig into the details.</p>

<p>All rankings, including the way-too-influential USNWR college rankings, depend heavily on methodology. They reflect what the list creators value, not what you might value. Business Week ranks Lehigh’s undergraduate business school at #26 (Lehigh has gone up and down by a few spots, depending on the year).</p>
