<p>dcsmiss: But it’s Forbes, so it’s not really that surprising that alumni pay is used as a measure of quality, or that schools with strong connections to Wall Street are more highly evaluated than schools with good art programs. Also, one of the reasons why its list changes so much is because the methodology is basically altered every year. (This may be connected to its desire to popularize itself, of course.)</p>
<p>I actually like this year’s methodology, although I would support it more if it actually measured what it intends to measure. Measuring student satisfaction isn’t something that’s done as easily as by looking at the results for RateMyProfessors.com.</p>
