Rankings in Higher Education
Rankings play an important but challenging role in business education. They provide a useful way of tracking our progress as Weatherhead seeks to improve our performance in teaching, research, student placements, and general reputation. They also provide important information for students, prospective students, and alumni.
Because we are small, and because some rankings do not evaluate a school unless its program is larger than a certain class size, we are occasionally left out of an evaluation; such an omission is not a reflection on the quality of our programs.
Several schools have decided not share information about students and alumni with the ranking organizations; while we have reservations about their methodologies, we do cooperate and work with these organizations to increase the likelihood of improving our rankings. Our goal has been and remains, however, to provide quality education and service to our students, alumni, and supporters.
