U.S. News and World Re-,
port released its latest ranking
oi the nation's graduate pro¬
grams in engineering, law,
medidne and business for the
third year, according to a press
release issued two weeks ago
by the magazine.
For the first time, U.S. news
and World Report has ranked
graduate programs in disci¬
plines such as history, political
science, economics, English,
psychology and sociology this
year.
In its ranking released last
week, Yale University ranked
as the number one law school in
America for the third straight
year.
Harvard and Stanford are
ranked second and third, respec¬
tively.
The following schools re¬
ceived the top ranking in each
of the following six liberal arts"
disciplines: history, UC
Berkeley; political science, UC
Berkeley; economics, Stanford;
English, UC Berkeley; psychol¬
ogy, Stanford; and sociology,
University of Wisconsin.
Stanford Uni versi ty recei ved
top honors for its graduate busi¬
ness school. \ .   _
The 'top research-oriented
. medical school^s Harvard, and
for the third straight year, Mas¬
sachusetts Institute of Technol¬
ogy was chosen as the top-rank¬
ing engineering school in Amer¬
ica.
The criteria for the ranking
of the schools are scholarly pro¬
duction, the quality of the cur¬
riculum and the reputation of
its faculty and students.
U.S. News and World Re¬
port surveyed only schools that
had granted five or more doc¬
toral degrees in any one of the
disciplines between 1986 and
1990.
The magazine contacted and
surveyed departmen t heads and
directors of graduate studies at
each of the schools.
Stanford, Harvard and UC
Berkeley finished well in most
categories.
In each of the six new disci¬
plines tote ranked, UC Berkeley
placed in the top five schools.
In five of the six new areas,
the liberal arts, categories Stan¬
ford placed in the top five
schools, and Harvard appeared
in the top five in three of the
disciplines.
However, UC Berkeley did
not fare as well as its counter¬
parts Harvard and Stanford in
business and law.
While Stanford and Harvard
finished first and second in the
business school rankings, and
second and third in the law
school rankings, UC Berkeley
placed 13th in business and 12th
inlaw.
The rankings were published
in the March 23,1992 issue of
U.S News and World Report
The issue also outlined the-*-
nations best graduate schools.
The magazine also ranked
executive-education programs
for the first time.
Harvard received top hon¬
ors in mis category.
Student selectivity, place¬
ment success, and graduation
rates were the criteria for distin¬
guishing between the top 25
schools in this area.
U.S. News and World Re¬
port also surveyed a reputa-
tional survey of up-and-com¬
ing graduate schhols in engi¬
neering.
University of Santa Barbara
placed first in this survey of fu¬
ture ebgineering school heavy¬
weights. Promising innovations
in the curriculum at the schools
was an important factor in the
selection of up-and-coming en¬
gineering schools.
Arizona State University and
University of California at Irv¬
ine rounded out the top three
schools.
The overall top medical
school is Thomas Jefferson
University in Philadelphia.
Criteria for determining
ranking in the top comprehen¬
sive medical schools consisted
of two surveys of academic
reputation. One was admini¬
stered to the top medical deans
of the schools, and the second
was given to intern-residency
directors.
