| College Rankings * College Ratings
Saving the college counselor, parents, and students enormous time with publications, lists and answers found nowhere else, presented from the secondary school point of view! INFORMATION THAT IS TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN USE IMMEDIATELY. From Rugg, you always get a thoughtful approach to ranking and rating colleges. Rugg's advice and comments have appeared in such diverse publications as USA Today, Rolling Stone, College Bound, The Boston Globe, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, New Jersey Monthly, The Washington Post, Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine, and Business Week. NOTE: Rugg's Latest Book and Latest Special Reports are now all available by e-mail (PDFs, with bookmarks for every major in the book). However, the Latest Four Special Reports can be shipped to you through the mail if you wish. "I wish Mr. Rugg had put his book on my desktop computer years ago. This new PDF for all his products is great, and so easy to use, and the addition of bookmarks for the majors saves even more time. I turn my monitor toward me and get a lot of lists and a lot of answers. I have his college lists right on my screen as I talk to parents and students. And for them I can copy so easily the major pages they (we) want and I do not have to leave my chair." ~ Vernon Vargas, Long-time College Coordinator, Moreau Catholic High School, Hayward, CA, October 23, 2011 "It is really convenient now, and easy to use with the new bookmarks that make the majors jump out. A practical masterpiece on the college process by one of our great communicators." ~ Hy Kleinman, Long-time College Counselor, Bernard's (NJ) High School, September 30, 2011 "Fred, thank you for 16 great years on the radio with us as our 'college go-to guy.' I only do the program on the colleges if I can have Fred on." ~ Dave Congalton, No. 1 rated talk show on California's Central Coast 19 years running, October 27, 2010 "Like almost every other counselor in America, we use your book!" ~David Schindel, College Counselor, Sandia Prep School, Albuquerque, New Mexico, February, 2010 "Over the last 19 years I have been using Rugg's Recs as a quick, reliable initial reference to evaluate college academic departments at all competitive levels. With the plethora of fine college guides available it is hard to decide what to include in one's library. This one has proved invaluable as a first step for me. As an independent counselor to students around the country I have noticed that most high school guidance offices have this handy guide. It is particularly helpful once the student has an academic concentration in mind. Even esoteric majors like Music Therapy, Health Services Administration, Arabic, Entomology and Forensic Sciences are ranked by college. At first I was not sure if the colleges were just listed because they were simply courses offered in the college catalog. No, they are chosen to be included because Rugg has implemented a comprehensive system of researching that combines statistical analysis with direct communication with hundreds of counselors and teachers around the country. He is able to sift and sort the objective with the subjective. Colleges are always evolving from year to year, department to department. It is a Herculean task to measure the strength of an academic department every year since faculty moves on. But Rugg seems to fairly well identify the dedicated and involved faculty that works hard to provide a substantive level of education and training to students pursuing degrees in those disciplines..." ~ "Eric Goodhart, Programs for Education, Lunenburg, MA, August 8, 2011 "I would not be able to even begin to know where to look in many cases without this book. Considering that there are some 3,700 colleges and universities in the USA, Rugg does a remarkable job of sifting through what you need to know to begin your research." ~ David Gonet, Counselor, Rockford, Illinois, May 1, 2009 "You make it too easy for the 21st-century guidance counselor. So much information, yet so easy to use. Great job!" ~Ralph Strycharz, Long-time teacher and counselor, Hampshire Regional High School (MA) "This is my lifeline and it has many students happy with their choices and successful choices!!!!" ~Janet Baldocchi, Independent Counselor, San Francisco, CA, November, 2010 "Fred Rugg has been everywhere that matters to the college selection process." ~ College Bound, Evanston, IL - January, 2008 "No better source exists, even online, for those in search of the college or colleges that offer majors, minors or coursework in disparate subjects...this is a book you'll want to live with for a couple of years." ~"Ska," Bethesda, Maryland, December 19, 2007 You can reach us by phone at 760-728-4558, by fax at 760-728-4467, or by e-mail at frugg9@gmail.com, or write us at: Rugg's Recommendations 1144 North Crescent Ridge Road, Fallbrook, CA 92028 Copyright, 2012, Frederick Rugg, RUGG'S RECOMMENDATIONS, INC. |
