Title: Not very good
Product review: The premise of the Gourman Report is that you can assign values to undergraduate programs. To believe that you can distinguish the quality of a program by one or two one-hundredths of a point staggers the statistical imagination.It is also somewhat incongruous to find that otherwise exceptional undergraduate colleges and programs, e.g. Dartmouth College or Amherst, find little or no place in either the undergraduate majors or overall. This suggests that there is a strong bias toward published research rather than the quality of teaching.Mr. Gourman could provide a much more useful service if he would rethink the purpose of an undergraduate education and revise his ranking system accordingly.
