Nearly all of the University of Michigan’s graduate programs are “leaders and best” according to the U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 rankings, which were released Wednesday morning.

Programs in business, law, engineering, medicine, education, and public policy all ranked in the top 15 in the country, and most landed in the top five when only public universities are considered.

Two disciplines in the health field led the way for Michigan as the Nurse/Midwifery and Masters in Social Work programs were rated as the best in the nation. Michigan’s Pharm.D. doctoral pharmacy program tied for third best.

Graduate programs in the College of Engineering scored very high, ranked as the sixth best school in the country. Individually, department heads across the country ranked the school’s aerospace and mechanical engineering programs as fourth best in the country, the industrial engineering program was second and the nuclear engineering program was number one.

The University of Michigan’s Law School was also in the top 10, moving up three spots from last year to a #8 ranking nationally.

The MBA program at the Ross School of Business ranked as the 12th best in the country, a one-spot drop from last year.
The U-M Medical School was named the 4th best for primary care instruction and tied for 11th place. The school’s family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics and women’s health programs were all top-eight nationally.

The University of Michigan education programs, ranking 12th. Michigan. U-M taking top prize—for programs in higher education administration.

The schools of Nursing and Public Affairs were ranked seventh and eighth respectively, with the school’s social policy program earning a top ranking through peer evaluation.

Do you know if academic grad school rankings (e.g. physics, chemistry, math, etc.) were updated? The rankings pages say “ranked in 2014” but the methodology pages were apparently updated yesterday.

isn’t it premature to worry about grad school?
