 S Rank (for survey-based rankings) are based on how faculty weighted—or

assigned importance to—20 characteristics that the study committee determined to

be factors contributing to program quality. The weights of characteristics vary by field
based on faculty survey responses in each of those fields. Programs in a field rank
higher if they demonstrate strength in the characteristics carrying greater weights.
 R Rank (for regression-based rankings) depend on the weights calculated from
faculty ratings of a sample of programs in their field. These ratings were related,
through a multiple regression and principal components analysis, to the 20
characteristics that the committee had determined to be factors of program quality.
The resulting weights were then applied to data corresponding to those
characteristics for each of the programs in the field.
