What rankings of music schools are there?
In the US, a whole industry has arisen focused on the ranking of
universities and colleges. While there is no specific ranking of
undergraduate music schools, national and international
organizations such as US News & World Report, The Princeton Review,
The Washington Monthly and the Academic Ranking of World
Universities (ARWU) based in Shanghai, China, regularly publish
general rankings designed to identify the "best" graduate and
undergraduate schools and programs according to quality and value.
Less "official" rankings can also be found in resources like
StudentsReview, Rugg's Recommendations on the Colleges, and
Community College Week.
