The Evaluation Model of American Universities Based on Education Performance
Chen, Zhi-zhong
Online Submission, US-China Education Review, v3 n8 p4-7 Aug 2006
In recent years, there are more and more Chinese students going abroad for studying, and within them, the most students decided to study in the United States. But although in general the academic resource and quality of American universities is better than Chinese, the cost of studying abroad is much higher than studying in domestic colleges. Therefore, in order to get the best profit from studying abroad, students should better try to admit to the universities with higher academic evaluation. But until now, there's no official ranking system for universities. Although some organizations have done several different ranking lists, there is still no "best" ranking for students to select schools. And due to cultural differences, the ranking lists done by foreign organizations may not suit for Chinese students. This paper tries to use the regression model to evaluate the universities in the United States, and try to model the best universities list based on academic resources, quality of teaching and the average quality of students. Although it's just another "nonofficial" ranking, it should be useful for students to know more about American universities. (Contains 1 table.)
