2015年最新美国大学排名出炉啦！

《美国新闻与世界报道》刚刚公布了美国“最佳大学”排名！请在下文中查看美国顶尖综合性大学和文理学院的部分名单。

《美国新闻与世界报道》是一本新闻杂志，总部位于华盛顿特区。它自1933年起，因其年度“最佳大学”报告闻名世界，并于1983年首次出版。目前，这份报告被大众视为美国高等学术机构最古老、最有名的排名系统。

美国新闻的排名是根据各教育机构的年度调查表、或学校官网中的数据制作而成。但是，它同样也受不属于该校教职工的同行调查结果所影响。

影响美国新闻大学排名的三大重要数据为：班级平均人数、第一学年的学生留校率（即有多少读完大一的学生继续留在该校进行大二的学习）、以及六年内顺利毕业的学生百分比。

排名还衡量一所学校的资金分配和财富，以及它受同行的欢迎程度。然而，班级规模、第一学年的学生留校率和六年毕业率才是体现学校本科经历质量的有效验证数据。在学生和家长浏览排名时，他们应该把这些数字作为学校是否能帮助学生提升能力、和培养优秀本科经历的重要衡量指标。

家庭也应该在美国新闻中查看其它类别的排名，例如“最佳本科教学”和“顶级公立学校”等。被推荐的还有福布斯公布的年度美国大学排名和普林斯顿评论。我们特别推荐普林斯顿评论的“最快乐的学生”排名，和美国国家科学基金会公布的将学生输送到科学和工程学博士学位项目的顶尖学校。

然而，尽管查看排名是了解客观事实和比较不同学校的有效方式之一，但是家庭应该意识到排名靠近的学校可能会呈现截然出完全不同的教育经历和文化环境。因此，最适合学生的学校并不一定是排名最靠前的学校。我们强烈建议学生通过与招生官、现任学生、近期毕业的校友和大学咨询专家的沟通，了解更多关于学校的主观经验。

2015 US News Best Colleges Rankings Released!

The 2015 US News & World Report “Best Colleges” rankings have been released! Scroll down to see a partial list of the top American National Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges.

The US News & World Report is a news magazine that has operated from Washington, D. C. since 1933, but it is most well-known for its annual “Best Colleges” report, first published in 1983. The report is widely-accepted as the oldest and best-known ranking system for American high-education academic institutions today.

The rankings are based on data that US News collects from each educational institution, either from annual surveys sent to each school, or from the school's website. They are also based on peer surveys of university faculty members and administrators who do not belong to the schools.

Three of the data points that are truly significant in calculating the US News college rankings are an institution’s average class size, its first-year retention rates (how many students continue from freshman to sophomore year), and the percentages of students who graduate within 6 years.

The rankings also measure a school’s allocated funding or wealth, as well as its popularity, as based on peer assessment. However, the class size, first-year retention rates and 6-year graduation rates are the data points that truly comment on the quality of a school’s undergraduate experience. As students and parents look through the rankings, they should regard these numbers as barometers of the school’s ability to help students graduate and cultivate a great undergraduate experience.

Families should also be sure to consult other categories from US News, such as “Best Undergraduate Teaching” and “Top Public Schools.” Other recommended American college rankings are conducted annually by Forbes and The Princeton Review. We especially recommend The Princeton Review’s “Happiest Students” ranking, and the National Science Foundation’s ranking of top schools that send students to science and engineering doctorate programs.

While rankings are a great way to capture objective facts and comparisons of different colleges, families should note that schools that occupy similar spaces in a ranking can have vastly different educational experiences or cultural environments. The best fit school for a student isn’t necessarily the one that claims the highest spot on the list. Students are strongly encouraged to speak to admissions officers, current students, recent alumni and college counseling professionals to understand more about the subjective experience at a school.
