As U.S. News does not release new rankings for every program, every year, rankings denoted with an asterisk have been republished this year. 
According to U.S. News, rankings are generated through \u201cranking indicators\u201d derived from reputation and\/or data reported by each institution.  For some programs, U.S. News evaluates key areas such as expert opinions in the field, opportunities for student engagement, resources for student support and career success, as well as faculty and student performance, in terms of existing credentials, research impact and metrics such as student job placement.
In addition to the graduate program rankings, in September 2024 U.S. News ranked USF as one of the nation\u2019s top 50 public universities for the sixth consecutive year<\/a>, and the \u201cbest value\u201d among all public and private universities in Florida for the second consecutive year.
