Gourman Report

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gourman Report is Dr. Jack Gourman's ranking of undergraduate programs and professional programs in American and International Universities. It has been criticized for not disclosing criteria or ranking methods,[1][2] as well as for reporting statistically impossible data, such as no ties among schools, narrow gaps in scores with no variation in gap widths, and ranks of nonexistent departments.[3] The Princeton Review, a for-profit publisher of achievement tests and college guidebooks, publishes the Gourman Report.[1]
