RankingsU.S. News & World Report rankings have spawned a number of alternative ranking systems, such as the Washington Monthly College Rankings, that examine the degree to which colleges and universities benefit the nation through the education they provide. Using yardsticks of social mobility, research and public service, Washington Monthly put UC Berkeley in second place, behind MIT, commenting: "UC schools continue to rule...By our yardstick, University of California, Berkeley, is about the best thing for America we can find. It's good by all of our measurements." Click here to see our rankings.
