<p>r there any nrc rankings for undergraduate, not graduate?</p>
<p>NRC rankings are ONLY for FACULTY at institutions that have
PhD programs... now, those same faculty (to varying degrees) also
teach (most) of the undergraduate classes at well. By definition, faculty at LACs are NOT ranked and not included, so this will miss some very, very strong undergraduate programs.</p>
<p>NRC rankings are really only useful for students evaluating PhD programs.</p>
<p>In my opinion, at the undergrad level, focus on finding the best overall school, and don't worry so much about individual department rankings (unless you are looking for a very unusaul, rare program). At the undergrad level, differences in department rankings are not very significant.</p>
<p>ameer, you might want to read this thread. Carolyn's post in particular is very insightful.
