<p>Could you send a link to the site where it rates USAFA? Thanks, that interests me!</p>
<p>Sounds to me like someone tried to just plop the academies in without much knowledge of them or thought. I assume its the same at the other academies, but EVERY degree awarded at USAFA is a B. of Science, regardless of whether its for engineering or history. So, the ranks for WP and USNA may be valid when it comes to LA, even if that’s a horrible place to put them. </p>
<p>I recall 2 years ago that the US News report included best schools at the bachelor’s level, master’s, and PhD. I remember because, for example, the best chemical engineering degree at the bachelor’s level was Rose-Hulman IT while the best chemE at the graduate levels were MIT. I also remember the academies being in there because WP was on the top 5 civil engineering list and USAFA being ranked number 2 behind Embry-Riddle in Aerospace engineering. I suppose they decided to add the academies to the ranks of overall. argh…now I’m all confused.</p>
