...are out. You can find them at http://www.washingtonmonthly.com//college_guide/toc_2010.php, with a number of thought-provoking articles on college education. The ratings focus on graduation rates (expected, based on the student population, and actual) and service to society provided by students and alumni, besides research. I find the graduation rate focus interesting, as it looks at educational outcomes instead of inputs (as in SAT scores and the like). But graduation is only one outcome; the quality of learning that (hopefully) comes with graduation is not assessed.
JMU does pretty well in the ratings for Master's-level universities (28th out of more than 500 nationally). On top of the U.S. News ranking of JMU as 3rd-ranking public regional university in the South, that's more good news! Way to go!
