Which Ivies are best in which subjects?

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Edit: Does that link you have supplied reflect undergraduate programs well?</p>

<p>what about journalism overall??</p>

<p>HEHE! I'm going to Louisiana Tech in the Fall :)</p>

<p>Sorry if I seem giddy, but Louisiana Tech is <em>widely</em> overlooked by those types of rankings. I'm more than a little excited to see it on there.</p>

<p>The lists seem somewhat similar. The most striking difference is no NYU on Gourman (#1 in Gourmet). I would trust the Gourmet more, but they seem to be saying about the same thing. Gourmet has Columbia higher, Chicago and Brown lower. The top 15 are pretty solid though.</p>

<p>Can you by the Gourman reports in a book, or is it just on the website?</p>

<p>From what I understand, you can only buy them in books; they're not available on the internet.</p>

<p>Where's NYU in that philosophy ranking? How strange...</p>

<p>The Gourman Report book is out of print. I happen to have a copy that was passed down to me by an older brother.</p>

<p>I suspect that undergrad philosophy at NYU is not as good as the graduate level philosophy. I think philosophocal gourmet is for graduate philosophy programs, Gourman is for undergrad. NYU awarded 34 bachelors degrees in Philosophy in 2004 out of 4,700 total. (Berkeley awarded 81.) Or, perhaps philosophical gourmet has it wrong for graduate philosophy. NYU doesn't appear in the NRC rankings for PhD programs in philosophy either. Or, maybe NYU has only recently risen to prominence. Just speculating...</p>

<p>where's the link for 2006 or 2005 Gourman's top undergrad schools ?</p>

<p>The Gourman Report is not available online. Are you interested in the rankings for a particular major?</p>

<p>The fact that NYU is not included shows how out-of-date the Gourman report is. Major changes do take place in 10 years. Many city schools have improved drastically in that time period. NYU, WUSTL, GW and BU are just a few I can think of that have developed significantly over that time period.</p>

<p>Wow, right now my son's first choice is Dartmouth over Cornell. Is the bias against smaller coleges significant, or should he reconsider?</p>

<p>I don't think the preference for larger schools is significant of "quality" per se, rather than resources. The professors and students at dartmouth and cornell are equal, it's just a matter of there being more of each at cornell; especially with professors, this provides a lot of opportunities for research. If you aren't interested in research, then it shouldn't matter- a dartmouth education is obviously at the top- but I would recommend looking into research opportunities. From what I have heard, undergrad research can be a whole education itself, which smaller schools just can't give you.</p>

<p>Hi - I was wondering if someone could post the rankings for both music and psychology. I'm considering a double major or major/minor combination.</p>

<p>would anybody please post the rankings of undergraduate neuroscience, biology, and brain science?</p>
