Considered the "gold standard" of academic quality rankings, the National Research Council's (NRC) assessments of research-doctorate programs are the most comprehensive and respected evaluations of Ph.D. programs in the United States.
In 1995, the NRC assessed doctoral programs in 41 fields of study at 274 universities.
The NRC data are not normalized for faculty size, resulting in lower rankings for smaller programs.
The 1995 ratings are the most recent. The NRC plans to release updated ratings in 2009.
