For the social good

Christian Century,  Nov 15, 2005  

FOR THE SOCIAL GOOD: The Washington Monthly (September) has come up with its own ranking of colleges and universities, based on three criteria: the social mobility of a school's graduates, evidence that the school advances knowledge and drives economic growth, and a school's promotion of an ethic of service.

Only three schools in U.S. News & World Report's well-known top-ten ranking made it onto the WM top-ten list: MIT, Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania. Though Ivy League schools dominate the top rankings in other surveys, only Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania made the WM top-ten list. Making WM's top ten were (in order): MIT, the University of California-Los Angeles, the University of California-Berkeley, Cornell, Stanford, Pennsylvania State University, Texas A&M, the University of California-San Diego, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan.
