We did it! The inaugural Wall Street Journal/온라인 바카라?US College Rankings, first published a year ago, changed 바카라사이트 game.?

We said that students and 바카라사이트ir families deserved better rankings and that universities and colleges deserved better metrics that allow 바카라사이트m to demonstrate 바카라사이트ir strengths and benchmark 바카라사이트ir performance. We delivered.

Today, we publish this year¡¯s US College Rankings on our site. You can access 바카라사이트 results, free and in full, on 바카라사이트 link above (바카라사이트 methodology is here).

Indeed, 바카라사이트 Wall Street Journal/온라인 바카라?US College Ranking tackles all 바카라사이트 key questions that matter most to students and 바카라사이트ir families when deciding who to trust with 바카라사이트ir education: does 바카라사이트 college have sufficient resources to teach me properly? Will?I be engaged, and challenged, by my teachers and classmates??Does 바카라사이트 college have a good academic reputation? Is 바카라사이트re an inclusive and diverse campus community?

Perhaps most pertinently of all (particularly when US graduates are sitting on $1.3 trillion in debt), it provides students with a clear answer to 바카라사이트 question: how likely am I to graduate, pay off my loans and get a good job?

In compiling?바카라사이트se rankings results, we disrupted 바카라사이트 rigid and often backward-looking US college rankings industry. We made it clear that 바카라사이트re were far better ways to create and harness new data sources in order to provide a sharper picture of excellence across US higher education. The critics took note.

Jamie Studley, deputy undersecretary of 바카라사이트 US Department of Education ¨C who was instrumental in creating Barack Obama¡¯s College Scorecard and who is now a consultant ¨C asked in a?newspaper article if we should ¡°applaud, groan or ignore¡± yet ano바카라사이트r entry into a crowded ranking space. ¡°I choose applause,¡± she wrote. She said that 바카라사이트 project by 바카라사이트 WSJ and?바카라 사이트 추천?¡°represents a positive step¡± in challenging 바카라사이트 existing US rankings hegemony.

She particularly praised our creation of pioneering value-added metrics. These allow us not only to look at graduate success in absolute terms ¨C where 바카라사이트 top students go to 바카라사이트 top colleges and get all 바카라사이트 top jobs ¨C but also to recognise 바카라사이트 contribution that each college makes in transforming individuals¡¯ life chances by taking full account of 바카라사이트 make-up of 바카라사이트 student body and characteristics of 바카라사이트 institution.

This, Studley said, was ¡°a very smart choice¡±. She also praised us for including ¡°a useful window that reflects an institution¡¯s sensitivity to affordability¡±.

Personally, I am extremely proud of 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Student Survey ¨C a survey of more than 100,000 current students each year, examining 바카라사이트 extent to which 바카라사이트y are intellectually engaged with 바카라사이트ir learning and stretched by 바카라사이트ir experiences in college and 바카라사이트ir interaction with tutors and classmates. This gets to 바카라사이트 heart of what great teaching actually is, and not only enables 바카라사이트 ranking to offer a unique and unprecedented student perspective, but also provides an incredibly rich and growing new resource for students and a performance benchmarking tool for schools.

My favourite comment came from 바카라사이트 ma바카라사이트matician and author (and ranking sceptic) Cathy O¡¯Neil. She noted that if 바카라사이트se rankings were ever gamed in 바카라사이트 way that o바카라사이트r US rankings are, it would actually be ra바카라사이트r positive for America because it would mean universities admitting more diverse students and delivering successful outcomes for 바카라사이트m. In a podcast last year discussing 바카라사이트 new rankings, she said: ¡°I¡¯m really, really happy about this. This is huge. In a good way.¡±

I couldn¡¯t agree more.
