School Rankings: Mindless Narcissism or Do They Tell Us Something?

Pages 408-414 | Accepted 01 Apr 1995, Published online: 31 May 2013
 

Abstract

Rankings of professional schools are often flawed and always controversial. This was certainly the case when, for the first time, U.S. News & World Report published a list based on “reputation” of the “best” schools of social work. This article compares the results of that study with the findings of eight other attempts to rank social work schools over the last 20 years. The similarities and differences among those studies are discussed in terms of what we may learn from them.
