SPOKANE, Wash. – Gonzaga University has climbed one spot to rank No. 2 nationwide among small colleges and universities whose graduates serve in the Peace Corps. Twenty-six Gonzaga undergraduate alumni are serving overseas as Peace Corps volunteers, lifting Gonzaga’s historical total to 298 alumni with Peace Corps service.
Gonzaga’s rapid ascent in the Peace Corps rankings began in 2011 when the federal agency, established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, announced the University had moved up four spots to No. 3 nationwide with 23 undergraduate alumni volunteers. Today’s (2012) Peace Corps rankings tie Gonzaga’s previous all-time high from 2008 when the University also ranked No. 2. The full top 25 rankings for each school size category – plus all-time and graduate school rankings – can be found on the Peace Corps website.

Gonzaga also is among a select group of some 80 schools nationwide to offer a Master’s International program in collaboration with the Peace Corps. In 2008, Gonzaga’s Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language (MA/TESL) program became a partner in the Peace Corps Master’s International program ....

Like all cash cows, however, the college guide was a sacred cow, so I just shut up about its obvious statistical absurdities and inherent mendacity. As a lesson in the evils of our times, it is perhaps inevitable that the college guide is now the only thing left of U.S. News. A story in today’s New York Times reports that Claremont McKenna college has now been caught red handed submitting phony data to the college guide to boost its rankings. But the real scandal, as usual, is not the occasional flagrant instance of outright dishonesty but the routine corruption that is shot through the whole thing. … To increase selectivity (one of the statistics that go into U.S. News’s secret mumbo-jumbo formula to produce an overall ranking), many colleges deliberately encourage applications from students who don’t have a prayer...
