U.S. News Ranking: Most Efficient National Universities
Robert Morse (Director of Data Research, U.S. News), Which Highly Ranked Universities Operate Most Efficiently?:
The new list is based on operating efficiency, defined as a school's 2011 fiscal year financial resources per student divided by its overall score (the basis U.S. News uses to determine its overall numerical rank) in the 2013 Best Colleges rankings. This calculation reveals how much each school is spending to achieve one point in the overall score and its position in the rankings. The less a school is spending relative to its ranking, the more efficient it is in producing a quality education among its peers.
National University Rank Resources Per Student Florida State University 97 $17,731 Brigham Young University 68 $20,441 Miami University 89 $19,091 University of Alabama 77 $20,288 College of William & Mary 33 $27,572 Colorado School of Mines 77 $21,417 University of Missouri 97 $21,226 SUNY-Binghamton 89 $22,181 Indiana University 83 $22,806 Ohio University 131 $18,983 Rutgers-Newark 115 $20,801 University of Georgia 63 $27,028 Clemson University 68 $26,293 U. of South Carolina 115 $21,389 Virginia Tech 72 $26,261 Clark University 83 $25,073 Duquesne University 120 $21,216 University of Oregon 115 $21,749 Texas Christian University 92 $24,486 Missouri U.

Dumbest. Metric. Ever.

What's so dumb about it? Tuition prices are out of control. To the extent a school is able to control costs while still maintaining a good ranking, it's certainly worth noting so other universities can possible study and adopt the practices.
