Productive colleges
Article Type: News From: International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, Volume 59, Issue 1
The Center for College Affordability and Productivity, a think tank in Washington, DC, calculates quality scores for 600 schools and divides each by the school's average net tuition rate for 2003-2007.
Quality scores are based on students' satisfaction with their course instruction (25 percent) and indicators of their post-graduate employment success (25 percent), with almost as much weight given to the four-year debt load for typical student borrowers (20 percent). Other factors are four-year graduation rates and student and faculty success in competitive academic and research awards.
