Gourman Report
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gourman Report is Dr. Jack Gourman's own ranking guide for undergraduate programs and professional programs in American and International Universities. It has been widely criticized for not disclosing criteria or ranking methods,[1][2] as well as for reporting statistically impossible data, such as no ties among schools, narrow gaps in scores with no variation in gap widths, and ranks of nonexistent departments.[3] The Princeton Review, a for-profit publisher of achievement tests and college guidebooks, has backed the Gourman Report, claiming that criticism is unfounded and originates mostly from schools that have not scored well.[1]
