With an alarmist tone, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) publishes rankings of U.S. higher ed institutions. In fact, the organization says, "What we found is alarming." The ACTA web site is called What will they learn?
On the plus side, ACTA provides a clear-cut view of their criteria (essentially analyzing course offerings for a "solid" core curriculum) and an even more obvious result: grade of A, B, C, D, F, with breakdown by discipline, tuition, and graduation rate.
Quickly get a handle on the ratings by clicking "Compare Schools" from the front page menu (or clicking here for a direct link).
