I apologize for taking up bandwith with this post, but there seems to be considerable interest in what schools made it to this list versus which schools did not. As far as I know, the Gourman Report is not the definitive report. (I think I might be contradicting myself here.) This means two things: 1) It is not comprehensive and covers major programs as listed in 1992, some programs have been added since; and 2) There are other reports that do list other programs. This was the one I happened to browse through during my Reference Shift. There are literally dozens of polls and ratings to go through. The Gourman is reputable, but has problems, as well. In some cases I don't agree with the report, (music schools,for example), while in others it seems accurate. (Zoology) Now, it should also be remembered for anybody out there seeking a school with a certain program that things change quickly. And undergraduate programs are more difficult to rate than graduate programs. This is due to many larger universities having perhaps larger endowments and facilities, but often having classes taught by Grad. Assistants rather than full faculty. Graduate programs are generally smaller than undergraduate and much more specialized. It is always possible to earn a graduate degree in something completely different than one's undergraduate degree. I've received a lot of mail regarding "The List". All I have to say is this: Your school may not have made the Gourman Report, but if it has a program it's bound to be found in another report. It's best to compare reports. But nothing beats visiting the campus personally, and meeting with alumni, current students faculty, staff and seeing the facilities.
