As small as we are, it’s great to be rated among some of the bigger programs,” Strawser said. The Dwight Look College of Engineering’s drop in ranking was caused by the University of Southern California, who received a big grant that they were able to record, said Dr. Roland Haden, dean of the Dwight Look College of Engineering. “If you look at the numbers, we’re actually at the same point now that we were in 2002,” Haden said. “The numbers are so sensitive to something like a grant, which we can see with the University of Southern California. They are a small school, and that grant helped bump them up considerably.” The University of California placed eighth in the 2003 edi tion of best graduate schools, moving up from I 1th place the previous year. “What people need to realize is that this survey is about 40 percent based solely on opinion,” Haden said. “It seems to me that with 40 percent, you can do a lot of biasing. The people who are at the top of the lists usually remain at the top. Things don’t really change for them.” Haden said students should not be discouraged with the lower rankings. “We bounce around a little bit every year,” he said. “Looking at research funding, we still rank fourth in the country.” In regard to the business school, Haden said the College of Business has done better this year when compared to last. “With the new edition they’re building and the programs they offer, the ranking should be going up, not down,” Haden said. Other rankings for A&M show that in the doctoral sciences, the specialty of biological science placed 60th and chemistry placed 22nd with inorganic chemistry ranking sixth. The College of Veterinary Medicine ranked fourth for the second consecutive year. For more college rankings, the U.S. News and World Report: 2003 Edition of Best Graduate Schools can be found on newsstands.
