Several Ńż°®Ö±²„ graduate programs are included in the latest U.S. News & World Reportā€™s ā€œBest Graduate Programsā€ for 2023-24. Each year, U.S. Newsā€™ ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing, including specialties in each area.

Among the Ńż°®Ö±²„ programs listed in the 2023-24 ā€œBest Graduate Programsā€ are nursing masterā€™s at No. 38 (up from No. 54); overall public affairs at No. 72 (up from No. 81); environmental engineering at No. 99 (up from No. 100); overall education at No. 117 (up from No. 138); electrical, electronics and communications engineering at No. 150 (up from No. 151); chemistry at No. 201 (up from No. 204); rehabilitation counseling at No. 36; medicine at No. 106; and engineering at No. 138.

ā€œFlorida Atlanticā€™s improvement in graduate and professional school ranking is emblematic of our aim to meet critical workforce needs for our region and state,ā€ said Michele Hawkins, Ph.D., interim provost at Ńż°®Ö±²„. ā€œWe are so proud of the faculty who work tirelessly to ensure our students become experts in their fields.ā€

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 schoolā€™s faculty, research and students.

As prospective students research course offerings and weigh schoolsā€™ 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.
