<p>Does anyone have a list compiled of:
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 schools- or can point to a link where
there is one?</p>

<p>USWNR publishes its rankings online and provides its evaluation of the tier for each school with the rankings:
[Best</a> Colleges - Education - US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges)</p>

<p>US news revised its ranking system this year and now the top 200 National Universities are now Tier I</p>

<p>Last year, the top 130 or 140 were Tier I. </p>

<p>What schools are you looking for?</p>

<p>Here are the top National Universities…

<p>To add to mom2collegekids’ post, USWWR has no Tier 2 category. You go from Tier 1 to Tier 3.</p>

<p>And remember that the masters universities are NOT listed on the links provided above. These are schools where the highest degree given is a masters degree. Some are wonderful schools. No tiers for those at all.</p>

<p>There are many lists besides the ones from USWNR. It’s best to look at several sources to get a fuller picture about school/program rank. Princeton Review (for schools) and Ruggs (for majors) are two well established ones that come to mind.</p>

<p>Sorry…gotta ask…why do you want this “tier” list?</p>
