These rankings are among the nation’s most closely watched annual surveys of academic excellence. U.S. News evaluates universities across six major disciplines — business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing — and publishes the results to help inform prospective students.
The Best Graduate Schools rankings are based on expert opinions and statistical indicators measuring the quality of faculty, research and students. The data came from statistical surveys of more than 2,125 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 23,000 academics and professionals in fall 2020 and early 2021.
