<p>I can only find the 1995 National Research Council Report on Quality in Ph.D. Education at <a href="http://www.grad.berkeley.edu/publications/pdf/nrc_rankings_1995.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.grad.berkeley.edu/publications/pdf/nrc_rankings_1995.pdf</a></p>
<p>That's ten years ago! Does anybody have the latest update? What's the link for 2005 or 2004?</p>
<p>The NRC only updates this list ever 10 years. I don't think the 2005 study has been released or people would be quoting it here.</p>
<p>New NRC rankings are slated to be released in 2007 and will include 16 new fields for a total of 57 fields, including communications, American studies, and other innovative programs.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that, accurate though they are, they're rather useless. They're not terribly helpful at the undergrad level, and nobody chooses their grad school based on rankings.</p>
<p>I chose my grad school based on the money -- I picked the one with the highest stipend. :D</p>
<p>Okay, that's not really why I chose it. Or at least that's what I tell everybody.</p>
