Tucson, Arizona | Published: 03.29.2008
The University of Arizona has nine specific graduate programs that are among the Top 10 nationally in their fields, according to the latest graduate school rankings by U.S. News & World Report.
The UA garnered top-10 rankings in audiology, analytical chemistry, Earth science, geology, information systems, pharmacy, rehabilitation counseling, social psychology and speech-language pathology.
But the university was left out of top rankings in the magazine's lead categories for business, education, engineering, law and medicine.
The UA's James E. Rogers College of Law ranked 38th in the country, and the Eller College of Management and the College of Education each ranked 55th; the College of Education ranked 58th.
The medical school ranked 62nd for primary care but was not among the top 61 for research. The UA also ranked 36th for public affairs and 45th for fine arts.
The UA had no top-10 subfields in law, medicine, education or engineering.
The U.S. News rankings of professional schools in business, education, engineering, law and medicine are compiled each year based on expert opinion and data on the school's research and quality of faculty and students.
The data come from surveys of more than 1,200 programs and 14,000 academics and professionals that were conducted in the fall of 2007.
Rankings in sciences, social sciences, humanities and health specialties are based on surveys from deans, program directors and senior faculty.
