Anthropology

I am so angry that anthropology is not included.

Yes, where is Anthropology?

Good to know I am not the only one wondering why Anthropology is surprisingly missing under Humanities!

Please don't leave it out, every university offers Anthropology and how could you leave out the "Study of Man" from your listing?

Anthropology

I, too, want to know: "Where is anthropology?"

Anthropology

Where's anthropology??

N/A?

So, what exactly is a rating of N/A mean? Does it mean that no one ranted the school, or that the trimmed mean was below the lowest you ranked?

Also, why do you not report number of responses in the rankings? A trimmed mean could be somewhat meaningless if few people actually rated the school.

ancient/medieval history?

Since you break down U.S. history, you might consider in the future adding a category for ancient/medieval history or medieval/early modern within European history. I realize this is a significantly smaller specialization than colonial U.S., but even if you simply added the category "premodern" you would likely get different results than you do for European history.
