Summary, Etc.  

요약University rankings have become an important part of the admissions processes and their audience has grown substantially over the last two decades. Yet there is still a lack of cover- age for graduate programs outside of business, law and medical school. One of the eminent rankings is the U.S. News & World Report, which has begun ranking graduate programs through peer assessment survey data which relies heavily on institutional reputation. The purpose of the study was to estimate the difference between a perception-based ranking measured through the USNWR rankings and a research-based ranking measured through Google Scholar metrics for 96 graduate statistics department within the United States. Ad- ditionally, the researcher sought to examine the underlying bias that might be present in the two rankings. A research rank statistic was generated for each department based off the mean of the normalized Google Scholar metrics for each professor within their department. Lastly, a bootstrap sample was conducted and was used to calculate the possible ranges of values departments could take. This was used to determine if a department deviates measurably between its research rank and perception-based rank. The results showed there is a measurable difference between the perception-based ranking and the research-based ranking.
