Master's Student: The clinical mental health counseling program has been great in emphasizing the importance of cultural competence in the counseling space. I have been able to collaborate with an amazing group of peers that make up my cohort to face challenges and concerns that arise in regard to the field of counseling. I have had some great professors who do their best to ensure we have the knowledge we need to be successful. However, there have been some adjunct professors who have other obligations that take away their time from providing feedback in a timely fashion and prolong receiving grades back for assignments. There have also been major changes in faculty that affect our ability to know what professor we will have when registering for the next semester. ... Read 20 reviews

The university encourages the practice of academic and intellectual honesty; the Honor Code and Honor Council serve to support the University’s presuppositions that “Students who are truthful on all academic matters and who submit academic work that is the product of their own minds demonstrate respect for themselves and the community in which they study, as well as a commitment to Jesuit education.” The Honor Council asks students to include the honor pledge on all written work and asks faculty to include a statement indicating support of the Honor Code in all syllabi.

Dozens of University of Maryland programs earned high rankings in U.S. News & World Report’ s 2024-25 Best Graduate Schools lists released Tuesday, with many achieving top-25 placements in overall and specialty categories.

Among UMD’s highlights, the College of Education and the School of Public Health both climbed into the top 25, and the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS) earned four top-25 accolades, including No. 15 in artificial intelligence.

“The University of Maryland is proud of its world-class graduate and professional programs in a broad range of disciplines—with dozens of rankings from education to public health to public policy,” said UMD President Darryll J. Pines. “We’re committed to creating the leaders and the experts that our state, nation and world need to take on the toughest challenges.”

Each year, U.S. News ranks graduate programs in education, engineering, business (MBA), law, medicine and nursing, along with a rotating selection of specialty schools and programs. The publication this year on Monday announced a delay of its engineering school rankings; this article will be updated when the numbers are available.

The rankings are based on reputational surveys; business, education and engineering rankings also incorporate quantitative data. The influential lists are widely used by prospective students when considering where to apply.

Overall, the School of Public Health and the College of Education each ranked No. 25, both up from last year. The School of Public Policy was No. 26.

Highlights among UMD’s specific programs this year include:

• CMNS ranked No. 17 for computer science, No. 23 for programming language and No. 22 for theory, which was not ranked last year.
• Robert H. Smith School of Business’ information systems program ranked No. 9, and its part-time MBA program was No. 10, an 11-place jump from last year.
• The College of Education’s ranked programs all earned top-25 accolades, including student counseling at No. 3, education psychology at No. 4, higher education administration and curriculum and instruction at No. 11, special education at No. 12, education policy and elementary teacher education at No. 16, secondary teacher education at No. 18, and educational administration at No. 21.
• The School of Public Policy’s homeland security program moved up one notch to No. 3; it also ranked No. 13 in public finance and cracked the top 25 in public policy analysis (No. 21), urban policy (No. 22) and nonprofit management (No. 23).
• The School of Public Health ranked No. 25 in epidemiology.
• The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences ranked No. 12 in audiology and No. 14 in speech language pathology.

Since U.S. News doesn’t rank all graduate programs annually, other current honors for UMD from previous editions include:

• The Smith School was ranked No. 11 overall for its online MBA program earlier this year, as well as No. 5 for its online marketing MBA and online general management MBA programs, No. 9 among online MBA programs for veterans, and No. 14 for its online master’s in business (excluding MBA).
• The A. James Clark School of Engineering also ranked highly in this year’s online graduate rankings, including a No. 6 overall placement and No. 10 for electrical engineering, No. 13 among programs for veterans and No. 14 for engineering management.
• The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources’ veterinary medicine program ranked No. 19 in 2024.
• The College of Information Studies was ranked overall No. 4 in 2022, in addition to services for children and youth at No. 2, information systems at No. 5, school library media at No. 5, archives and preservation at No. 6 and digital librarianship at No. 8.
• CMNS’ math program ranked No. 20 overall in 2024, with a No. 15 placement for applied math and No. 24 for math analysis. Its physics program was ranked No. 17 overall that year, with atomic, molecular and optical physics ranking No. 6, quantum physics ranking No. 9 and condensed matter and solid state physics ranking No. 17.
• The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences’ criminology program ranked No. 1 in 2022, and its sociology program ranked No. 24 the same year, with a No. 14 placement in sociology of population. Economics ranked No. 22 in 2023.
• The College of Arts and Humanities’ English program in American literature before 1865 ranked No. 12 in 2022.

Nursing Rises in ‘U.S. News’ Best Graduate Schools Rankings

April 9, 2024    |   By Mary Therese Phelan

Continuing its mission of shaping the nursing profession and the health care environment by developing leaders in education, research, and practice, the University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) has again ranked in the top 10 across the board for public schools of nursing — and moved up in all six categories in which the school is ranked — in the newly released 2024 edition of U.S. News & World Report ’s “ America’s Best Graduate Schools ,” out of 651 accredited nursing schools surveyed.

Both UMSON’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and its Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs climbed in the rankings among all schools surveyed, with DNP tied at No. 8 (up from No. 15 last year) and MSN at No. 20 overall (up from No. 25 last year). Among public schools of nursing, the DNP program is tied at No. 4 and the MSN is ranked No. 9.

Two UMSON specialties lead the way in the rankings, both ranked No. 1 (tied) nationwide among public schools of nursing:

• The DNP Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner specialty, tied at No. 4 among all ranked schools
• The MSN Health Services Leadership and Management specialty, No. 2 among all ranked schools

UMSON also is ranked in the top 10 among public schools of nursing for its:

• Family Nurse Practitioner Doctor of Nursing Practice specialty (No. 3)
• DNP Nurse Anesthesia specialty (No. 7, tied)

“It is gratifying to continue to be recognized nationally for our Doctor of Nursing Practice program and our Master of Science in Nursing program,” said Yolanda Ogbolu, PhD, NNP, FNAP, FAAN , the Bill and Joanne Conway Dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing. “The School of Nursing plays a vital role in our collective efforts in Maryland and nationally to increase the number of nurses with advanced education, particularly at the doctoral level. It is essential that we have nurses who are well prepared to meet the changing needs of patients, their families, and our communities at a time when we face increasing complexity in our health care system, growing diversity in our population, and persistent gaps in access to needed care.”

The U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on a variety of indicators, including student selectivity and program size, faculty resources, and research activity, and on survey data from deans of schools of nursing that are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education or the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.

In fall 2023 and early 2024, U.S. News surveyed 651 nursing schools with master’s or doctoral programs. In total, 292 nursing programs responded to the survey. Of those, 216 provided enough data to be included in the rankings of nursing master’s programs and 188 provided enough data to be eligible for inclusion in the ranking of DNP programs. Many institutions were ranked in both, using overlapping data.

College of Education grad program ranks in Top 40 among U.S. public universities

The Purdue University College of Education ranks #48 in 2024 Best Education Schools – Graduate  Education , according to the 2024 U.S. News & World Report rankings released Apr. 9. This is an increase from #49 in 2023.

Education is among the five top-ranked academic disciplines at Purdue ranked by the USNWR .

“We are #2 in Indiana, and in the top 19% nationally,” said Wayne E. Wright , College of Education associate dean for research, graduate programs, and faculty development.

This ranking places Purdue’s College of Education graduate program in the Top 40 among U.S. public universities, at #37.

“While this is a very small improvement over our ranking last year, it is evidence that our graduate programs are strengthening — especially in the area of research,” said Phillip J. VanFossen , interim dean of the College. “In fact, the College has one of the highest levels of research productivity at Purdue.”

“We are thrilled to see our graduate program move even higher in the 2024 U.S. News and World Report Rankings,” Wright said. “We truly have outstanding programs and faculty who are dedicated to teaching and providing our students with highest quality education.”

U.S. News & World Report is a recognized leader in ranking colleges, programs, and graduate schools. Each year, Purdue’s College of Education strives to continually improve its programs and relies on the rankings to help promote and serve as a recruiting tool for prospective students seeking a quality online educational experience.

UD’s consistently top-ranked physical therapy program remained in the top three nationwide. This is the first year U.S. News and World Report ranked speech-language pathology programs with UD’s inaugural ranking at #32.

“Excellent graduate preparation is central to the University of Delaware's mission as a world-class research institution," said Louis Rossi, dean of UD’s Graduate College and vice provost for graduate and professional education. "Our graduate programs are producing the thinkers, leaders and innovators who are tackling the world's greatest challenges. We are excited about these rankings, which indicate their excellence."
