Washington Colleges Rock!

On the heels of the happy news out of Ellensburg comes some more good news!

The faculty-productivity index was developed to see just how vibrant a certain department is, reports ($) the November 16th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education. The company that puts the index together developed it as a tangible way to rank programs across the country, and a look at the numbers reflects quite well on universities in Washington State. Consider:

#8 in American Studies: Washington State
#1 in Architecture: U of Washington
#3 in Meteorology: U of Washington
#9 in Chemical Engineering: U of Washington
#7 in Classics: U of Washington
#3 in Composition and Rhetoric: U of Washington
#8 in Forestry: U of Washington
#10 in Geophysics: U of Washington
#8 in Horticulture: Washington State
#3 in Nutrition Sciences: U of Washington
#4 in Special Education: U of Washington
#7 in Statistics: U of Washington
#7 in Zoology: Washington State

You can find out more by checking out the sub-site the Chronicle has set up, here.
