• The Ranking of Colleges

  Though many people put a lot of faith in the ranking of colleges, usually favoring the top college lists formulated by magazines like U.S. News and World Report, the ranking of colleges really isn't much of a science. That's not to say that formulas aren't involved. Depending on the publication, a large range of different considerations can be taken into account. Some of the standard criteria are class size, percentage of professors with advanced degrees, and the percentage of graduates which are either employed or pursuing further education within six months of graduation.

Never before have we ever paid attention to the environment. But continuous exploitation of the earths natural resources and constant generation of waste, heat and other damaging refuse has done nothing to mitigate the damage we have caused to the environment. We live in an age where knowing, understanding and adapting to the environment is no longer a choice – it is the only way ahead. And such an age demands qualified professionals, especially those with professional environmental science degrees.
