讓眾多亞洲學生跟家長為之瘋狂、亞洲升學顧問機構也愛不釋手的 2022 US News 大學排名就在今天公佈啦！
US News 如何排名這些大學
US News 今年用下面這個評分方式評估學校的好壞：
| 排名條件 | 百分比比重 |
| ⭕️ 畢業率及持續就讀率 | 22% |
| ◦ 平均六年畢業率 (graduation rate) | 17.60% |
| ◦ 平均大一持續就讀率 (retention rate) | 4.40% |
| ⭕️ 社會流動 (social mobility) | 5% |
| ◦ 聯邦 Pell 獎學金（Pell Grant）學生的六年畢業率 | 2.50% |
| ◦ 聯邦 Pell 獎學金（Pell Grant）學生與非 Pell 獎學金學生相比的六年畢業率 | 2.50% |
| ⭕️ 實際六年畢業率（與 2012-2013 的預測相比） | 8% |
| ⭕️ 大學學術名聲 | 20% |
| ◦ 同儕互評問卷（peer-review） | 20% |
| ⭕️ 2020-2021 學術資源 | 20% |
| ◦ 班級人數 | 8% |
| ◦ 教職員薪水 | 7% |
| ◦ 領域內獲得最高學位的教職員比例 | 3% |
| ◦ 全職教職員比例 | 1% |
| ◦ 師生比例 | 1% |
| ⭕️ 2020 秋季入學的學生程度 | 7% |
| ◦ SAT 及 ACT 分數（不含作文） | 5% |
| ◦ 高中是全校排名前10%的比例 | 2% |
| ⭕️ 給學生的經濟資源 | 10% |
| ⭕️ 平均畢業生捐款 | 3% |
| ⭕️ 畢業時的負債 | 5% |
| ◦ 總負債 | 3% |
| ◦ 負債學生比例 | 2% |
| 總數 | 100% |
這個評分方式，您同意嗎？您認為學校之間的評比（如 USC 的教務員評論 UCLA 是否為一所好學校）準嗎，該不該占總分的20%？家庭條件較貧困的學生是否能跟其他學生一樣在六年畢業、教職員是否為全職且領高薪、及畢業生有多少負債，這些在您心中是否佔了 18% 的重要性？畢業生捐款數佔 3%，您同意嗎？這會不會鼓勵大學多收來自富裕家庭的學生？
另外，您認為學生對教授及課程的滿意度、參與研究或實習的機會、課程種類多元化（或至少能上到想上的課程）、每堂課程提供給學生的課內外學習資源、學生的素質、大學生活便利性、交通便利性、校園安全性及毒品酒精的普及度、有意義且有趣的社團及活動、宿舍乾淨舒適度、伙食的品質、給應屆畢業生的就業資源跟輔導、就業率、研究所錄取率、薪水、工作升遷率….. 這些的重要性在您心中是否都佔 0% 呢？
如果您對 US News 排名的計算方式大致認同 —- 至少 65% 同意，達到及格分數 —- 歡迎繼續往下看！
就在上週：Forbes 美國大學排名
Forbes 上週剛公佈 2021 年的美國大學排名，還沒看的同學可以比較 Forbes 跟 US News 這兩個排名，注意一下他們的評分標準及不同標準所造成的排名差異。
劇透：他們排名的標準差很多，名次也差很多。
先不管哪個排名的『公信力』比較高（如果你問一個美國人，其實兩個都不高），你比較同意這兩個排行榜的哪個評分標準？

大家可以跟其他大學排名做對比，像是過去幾個月公布的 CWUR 2021-22 世界大學排名、QS 2021 美國大學排名，以及 2022 THE 世界大學排名。
恭喜這些大學達到各自的商業目標，成功擠進 US News 的前100名！
分析：為什麼每個網站的排名差距這麼多？
排名差距的細節就在我們上面提到的排名因素裡囉 😉
US News、CWUR、QS、THE、及 Niche 等大學排名的因素差非常多，比如只有 US News 給大學 peer review questionaire 讓學校官方之間做評比，而這個就佔 20%，所以這個問卷的分數差異就會大大的影響排名結果。
你如果認同大學之間的問卷評比（peer review）、六年畢業率（6-year graduation rate）、大一後持續就讀率（retention rate）、班級人數、獲得最高學位的教職員比例、及全職教職員比例這些因素該佔排名超過 50% 的分數，那 US News 排名是非常值得你參考的。
但你如果在意的是起薪、就業率、升遷率、升職率、社會貢獻、學生滿意度、畢業生未來成就及聲望、教授教學品質、實驗室及教學資源、學術成就、科系/領域影響力、論文產出等因素，這些因素是 US News 完全不納入考量的，那 US News 排名的「公信力」也就是 0%！
