CLAS Graduate Programs Land in the Top Ten of all Public and Private Universities in the U.S.
U.S. News and World Report has released its 2009 Best Graduate School rankings and three degree programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences—audiology, analytical chemistry, and statistics—have been named to the Top Ten of all public and private schools in the nation. Criminology was barely edged out of the Top Ten, coming in an impressive 11th nationally, as well as speech-language pathology, which ranked 12th.
Here’s how other programs in CLAS ranked nationally out of all public and private colleges:
- Biological Sciences, 48th
- Chemistry, 36th
- Physics, 36th
- Psychology, 66th
U.S. News collected data from more than 12,000 graduate schools for this year's rankings. These rankings are based solely on the ratings of academic experts. To gather the opinion data, they asked deans, program directors, and senior faculty to judge the academic quality of programs in their field on a scale of 1 ("marginal") to 5 ("outstanding").
