Reputation (NRC, 1995) ?
In 1993, the National Research Council asked faculty members to rate the educational effectiveness of doctoral programs at other universities on a scale of 0 ("Not Effective") to 5 ("Extremely Effective"). (Note that the resulting effectiveness ratings were found to be almost perfectly correlated (r=0.99) with ratings of "faculty quality," which suggests that the ratings may simply reflect the overall reputation of a program rather than any specific educational achievements.)
	Statistics and Biostatistics
Perceived educational effectiveness	Reasonably effective
Perceived effectiveness on a scale of 0–5	3.8
(0 = "Not effective", 5 = "Extremely effective")
