S Rank (for survey-based rankings) are based on how faculty weightedor assigned

importance to20 characteristics that the study committee determined to be factors

contributing to program quality. The weights of characteristics vary by field based on
faculty survey responses in each of those fields. Programs in a field rank higher if
they demonstrate strength in the characteristics carrying greater weights.
R Rank (for regression-based rankings) depend on the weights calculated from
faculty ratings of a sample of programs in their field. These ratings were related,
through a multiple regression and principal components analysis, to the 20
characteristics that the committee had determined to be factors of program quality.
The resulting weights were then applied to data corresponding to those
characteristics for each of the programs in the field.
