“I am very proud that so many of Florida Atlantic’s graduate programs have risen in the U.S. News rankings,” said FAU President Stacy Volnick. “Their upward trajectory is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our faculty, staff and students, who continue to make these programs among the best in the nation.”
The Best Graduate Schools rankings in these areas are based on two types of data: expert opinions about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students.
As prospective students research course offerings and weigh schools’ intangible attributes, the information on the U.S. News website can help applicants compare concrete factors, such as student faculty ratio and job placement success upon graduation.
