jimdahl Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The most amusing sideplot to the USNWR rankings recently has been lower- and mid-tier liberal arts colleges trying to protest being ranked and stop supporting the ratings, yet continuing to brag about their position. Colleges struggle to quit rankings habit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxSioux Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Why are UND and NDSU Tier 3 schools and SDSU and USD Tier 4? What is the major difference in the Tiers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Why are UND and NDSU Tier 3 schools and SDSU and USD Tier 4? What is the major difference in the Tiers? The tiers are just a mechanism to give general rankings of the bottom 50% of schools, without the absurd specificity of saying UND is #153 and NDSU is #154 (or vice versa). Tier 3 = everyone between 25% and 50% on their ranking system Tier 4 = everyone between 0% and 25% on their ranking system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting sue Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 UND ranks #5 when it comes to students graduating with the most debt?! Do aviation students really skew the numbers so drastically?
