For those concerned with rankings, Brandeis recently was ranked in the top twenty national universities by The Center for College Affordability and Productivity. Take a look at the link to the rankings on the home page of the Center's website:
The Center for College Affordability and Productivity. As you'll note,the top 20 schools begin with Harvard and end with Brandeis. I would suggest that perhaps none of the other top twenty universities has the intimate undergraduate focus of Brandeis (comparable to a small LAC) combined with top-notch research by an excellent teaching faculty.
For those of you who saw the CCAP list published on Forbes.com, which lists Brandeis as 21, CCAP has confirmed to me by email that the list on its own site is the accurate ranking. FYI, the inaccuracy on the Forbes.com site is the ranking of SMU as 13 when, in fact, it's ranked by CCAP as 43.
