  10. Religion               11. Spanish

  12. Biochem & Molecular    13. Cell Develop        14. Ecol, Evol, & Behavior

  15. Molec & Gen Genetics   16. Neurosciences       17. Pharmacology
  18. Physiology

Engineering
  19. Aerospace              20. Biomedical          21. Chemical
  22. Civil                  23. Electrical          24. Industrial
  25. Materials              26. Mechanical

Physical Sciences & Mathematics
  27. Astrophys/Astron       28. Chemistry           29. Computer Science
  30. Geosciences            31. Mathematics         32. Oceanography
  33. Physics                34. Stat/Biostat

   Each university granting a doctorate in an area was asked to rate each
   of the other doctorate granting universities in that area according to
   faculty quality and effectiveness of program. The resulting responses
   were converted to scores (having two decimal places) ranging from 0.00
   to 5.00 where for faculty quality 0 denoted ``not sufficient for
   doctoral education'' and 5 denoted ``distinguished,'' while for
   effectiveness of program 0 denoted ``not effective'' and 5 denoted
   ``extremely effective.'' Based on these scores, rankings were obtained
   of all doctorate granting institutions within each area.

   In the table below are the rankings for Texas A&M. Note that A&M is
   ranked in 25 of the 41 areas and that using the 0-5 raw score, the top
   five areas in order are chemistry, industrial engineering, statistics,
   civil engineering, and oceanography. Also, the only areas in the top
   quartile are civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering
   as well as chemistry and statistics.

世上没有真正的Haven，只有梦想中的港口。
