^ Uh huh… undergraduate academic programs.

IMO, LAC academic programs are more difficult to measure on distinction due to less visibility and the following impacts:

1. Less visibility due to less research (which rightly or wrongly is where visible academic achievements are made).

2. Less visibility tends to present the great LACs in a more homogenized light vs. their university counterparts.



considering each program’s scholarship record, curriculum, and quality of faculty and graduates.

what factor do you think is most visible to administrators? I say faculty quality…therefore, this factor is likely the most significant in academics minds while filling out the survey.

Also, note the instructions state to consider a program’s graduates, NOT what their students happened to do on a 3 hour test taken during their junior year of high school.
