Another Ranking

Yes, here is another ranking~

Rankings based on detailed student surveys:
The 2000 National Doctoral Program Survey
Released October 17, 2001

有什么值得看的？
具体评分项目不同，见下文。

有什么不足之处？
2000年的数据了，可能过时了；
数据不全，只是部分学校的部分programs才有调查结果；
可信度未知，因为是基于学生的问卷调查，stat这一块每个program有十一人左右参与调查，而这类问卷调查是self-selected，乐意回答问卷的人和不乐意回答的人可以说相差很多，也就是说 the sample was not a good representation of the population.

怎么说呢，所有的ranking都可信度有限，看你如何评价了 ^^
HAVE FUN~

What is the survey based on?

    The National Doctoral Program Survey is based upon best practices in doctoral education, as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Research Council, and the Association of American Universities, among others. It is adapted from the Spring 1999 Grad School Survey which drew upon the AAU Graduate Education Report and the work of researchers Chris M. Golde (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Melissa Anderson (University of Minnesota).

这个survey对每个program评分项目如下，以Duke的stat为例：
