About the Ranking Methods

We use a variant of the NRC's ranking algorithm to generate your customized rankings: we rank each program 500 times using different sets of program raters and slightly different data values each time. The ranges we show are the 5th and 95th percentile rankings.

Details coming soon. Stay tuned.

About the Graduate School Guide

The graduate school rankings on PhDs.org have been made possible by grants from The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and The Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
The National Postdoctoral Association and The Center for Science and the Media have served as the project's fiscal sponsors.
