LOL. Best value.

Their professional program costs about twice this much.

I wouldn't even get off the couch.

USNWR is such a scam. People actually care how they arbitrarily rank schools?

"Best Value" is a worthless designation when ranking schools.

I think the biggest lie on this page is that they claim people only come out about $8,000 in debt for a program that costs $54,900.00.

They randomly change their formulas every year so they can put out "new" rankings. I guess that's what happens when your printed publication becomes unprofitable and you have to resort to ranking schools to be profitable.

I read about a school that I think was ranked in the low 100s. They pumped a bunch of money into the random arse categories that USNWR uses the rank the schools...and I think the school moved up like 50 spots the next year.
