Graduate rankings have the amazing ability to simultaneously be both helpful and confusing. You want to know if the program(s) you're interested in are good -- but each list seems to have different information. So how can you figure out what to make of graduate rankings?
Keep in mind that each ranking has its own criteria and the "best" school listed may not be the best for you personally. Make sure to check in with your faculty and career center for more information when applying to graduate programs.
There are a variety of companies and organizations that rank graduate programs. Some of the most popular include:
