The U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Graduate School Rankings determines it’s rankings for the Best Graduate Schools by expert opinions and statistical indicators. The data is collected through surveys of programs and professionals in the respective fields. Deans, program directors, and senior faculty assess the academic quality, while professionals who work with graduates provide input on reputation. Schools provide the names of individuals to be surveyed.
In addition to the annual rankings of the major disciplines, U.S. News & World Report also periodically ranks programs in various fields based on academic experts’ ratings. This year, there were new rankings for master’s programs in health care management, physician assistant/associate studies, rehabilitation counseling and veterinary medicine. There were also rankings for master of public health and public affairs, as well as Ph.D. rankings in biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, earth sciences, mathematics and physics.
Schools are scored and ranked for the Best Graduate Schools through consideration of both inputs and outputs. Inputs include measures of the qualities of students and faculty, such as admissions test scores like LSAT, GMAT, GRE, and MCAT. Outputs measure graduates’ achievements linked to their degrees.
