## Rankings

### Undergraduate Rankings

College and university rankings continue to proliferate, but their value to individuals and to the institutions remains a subject of some debate. Some rankings are designed purely for entertainment, little more than internet photo galleries. Others make a more serious effort at collecting information.

Even where rankings do collect objective statistics such as test scores or costs, the choice of which factors to include in a ranking, and how those factors are weighted, remains subjective. The effects of those methodologies, and the reasons for those choices, are not always readily apparent.

For prospective students, families, potential staff and faculty who are deciding whether to invest time and resources in an institution, it is essential that you decide what factors are important to your success and the outcomes you seek. Those will include some objective information, which you can find on the pages of the Carnegie Mellon University website, or on sites for which CMU provides information, such as [IPEDS College Navigator](https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/#College%20Navigator "College Navigator") or [collegedata.com](http://www.collegedata.com/#CollegeData.com "CollegeData.com"). Your decision should also take into account your own assessment about programs, culture and opportunities for growth.
