美国没有一个top30,top90的学校.只是不同的机构按照自己的理解给学校排名而已,USnews不但不是唯一的,而且也算不上最权威的.下面给大家介绍下NRC ranking.

NRC ranking是research-based的ranking,好像就是多年前排过一次(1995),方法论比较诡异,有空给大家慢慢介绍,一般认为比USnews客观权威,但有点过时(N多年不重排了,不像USnews一年一排,然后就卖ranking的书)

不过比较值得期待的是,2007年Dec NRC也许会出新的Ranking.NRC的ranking非常有借鉴意义.

至少NRC是什么,我简单给大家摘录下
United States National Research Council RankingsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
The United States National Research Council puts out a ranking of United States graduate programs about every 10 years, although the time elapsed between each new ranking has exceeded 10 years. The next rankings are expected to be published in December 2007.Top 15 universities ranking1995 University1995 average score

The National Research Council (NRC) of the USA is the working arm of the United States National Academy of Sciences and the United States National Academy of Engineering, carrying out most of the studies done in their names.
The Research Council is not a membership organization. It was organized in 1916 in response to the increased need for scientific and technical services caused by World War I. Due to the success of Council-directed research in producing a sound-based method of detecting submarines, as well as other military innovations, the NRC was retained at the end of the war, though it was gradually decoupled from the military. The Research Council is currently administered jointly by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine, and its work is overseen by a Governing Board and an Executive Committee.
The president of the National Academy of Sciences is the chair of both the Governing Board and Executive Committee; the president of the National Academy of Engineering is vice chair.
Its members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of its committees are chosen for their special competences and with regard for appropriate balance. Its reports are reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council is one of the four organizations which comprise the United States National Academies.

另外,很多人可能最想干的事情是看看1995年NRC ranking的结果.本来我想帖出来,但是太长了,就给大家一个连接好了(排了41个领域).
