To control for departments with more senior faculty that have higher citation rates, I used the median number of citations for ranking purposes (see 2015 rankings). As might be expected, there is significant skewness in the data, attributable to a small number of highly cited faculty. Another way to compare planning departments is to show rankings by position (Assistant, Associate, and Full Professors). Because planning faculties are relatively small, I excluded schools with less than three faculty at any particular rank, and I also used the mean instead of the median to show central tendency. The three tables below show these results.
Table 1. Assistant Professors
Table 2. Associate Professors
Table 3. Full Professors
