Obtaining Published Ranking Table Data From U.S. News
Robert Morse, U.S. News & World Report (rmorse@usnews.com)

U.S. News will again provide, free of charge to any institutional researcher, a series of Excel spreadsheets with the ranking data that appeared in the rankings tables in the America's Best Colleges 2010 Edition guide book. Those ranking tables were also published on the U.S. News Web site in PDF format on August 20, 2009 in the Premium Online Edition. These spreadsheets will not be posted on a Web site; they will be e-mailed directly to each individual. These spreadsheets will only contain the data that appear in the published ranking tables, not all the data used to compute the rankings.

This information is provided for the convenience of AIR members by U.S. News to assist them in their analytical responsibilities. Data is only available from the America's Best Colleges 2010 Edition guide book ranking tables (those published online at http://www.usnews.com on August 20, 2009). To request these tables, or if you have questions about this offer, please send an e-mail to either rmorse@usnews.com or sflanigan@usnews.com. The e-mail request should contain a one- or two-sentence reason for the request to access the data for your school or institution. Expect a turnaround time of up to 10 business days before receiving the Excel files.

Ranking tables that were published in previous years are not available at this time.

This is NOT a permission to print or repost the ranking tables publicly. The data can be used for internal research purposes only.

Thanks,
