LAWRENCE \u2014 The University of Kansas has 48 graduate programs in the top 50 among public universities \u2014 including 10 programs in the top 10 \u2014 in the latest U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings<\/a>, released today.
Highlights include the following:
Observers wanting to compare this year\u2019s rankings to last year\u2019s rankings should note that U.S. News & World Report no longer issues numeric rankings for medical schools, having switched to a tier ranking system last year. Therefore, the medical school rankings are not included in this year\u2019s list of top 50 subjects. KU remained a Tier 1 school in the Medical School-Primary Care rankings (one of only 16 institutions in Tier 1) and ranked in Tier 2 in the Medical School\u2013Research rankings.
U.S. News & World Report publishes its Best Graduate Schools rankings each spring. These rankings are different from the annual Best Colleges rankings, which are published each fall.
\u201cWe are always pleased to see so many of our graduate programs ranked among the nation\u2019s best,\u201d said Chancellor Douglas A. Girod. \u201cThat said, we remain focused on our own measures of success<\/a>, which align with the Kansas Board of Regents\u2019 strategic plan, the needs of Kansas businesses and communities, and our aspirations as one of the nation\u2019s leading research institutions.\u201d
