Hi peh,
The following is the result of my research for the leading Fine Art
Schools for 2003.
Each year, U.S. News ranks graduate programs in the areas of
business, education, engineering, law, and medicine...
...This year, we also produced new rankings of graduate programs in
selected health fields and the fine arts, surveying nearly 2,000
faculty and administrators. The rankings in these fields, plus those
from previous years in health-related fields, humanities, sciences,
social sciences, and public affairs, are based solely on the ratings
of academic experts.
To gather the opinion data, we asked deans, program directors, and
senior faculty to judge the overall academic quality of programs in
their field on a scale of 1 ("marginal") to 5 ("outstanding")...
