How the score works
The score is out of 10 and compares Doane with every school we rank in computer science. It weighs what graduates earn four years out against the same major nationally (30%), the student body's test scores (25%), research spending in the field (20%, NSF), how many undergraduate courses the department lists, where we've counted them (20%), and the number of graduates in the major (5%; leading departments are often small). Pay is compared after a half adjustment for state price levels (BEA), since many graduates move. A program needs at least 15 graduates a year (or 8, with research spending in the field in the top quarter) and data about the program itself (its own graduates' pay, its course catalog or research in the field) to be ranked; school-wide numbers alone never rank a program. Missing inputs drop out and the rest are reweighted. Scores run 0–10 against the other ranked schools: 8.0+ is a standout program, 6.5+ strong, 4.5+ solid. Schools with the same score share a rank.
