According to Academic Analytics' 2007 Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index, the Institute ranks second in the nation among Higher Education programs.
From the Chronicle of Higher Education's Web site (where the statistics were reported):
The productivity of each faculty member is measured, although the data are aggregated before being published. Faculty members can be judged on as many as five factors, depending on the most important variables in the given discipline: books published; journal publications; citations of journal articles; federal-grant dollars awarded; and honors and awards...
The faculty's scholarly productivity in each program is expressed as a z-score, a statistical measure (in standard deviation units) that reveals how far and in what direction a value is from the mean. The z-score allows the performance of programs to be compared across disciplines. A z-score of zero indicates that the program is at the national mean for the discipline; a z-score of 1 indicates that the program is one standard deviation unit higher than the national mean.
The Institute scored 1.67 standard deviations higher than the national mean.
