Thirty-two University of Iowa colleges and programs were recognized among the best in their field in the U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings. Four of these programs received a top-10 ranking in this year’s report, which will be released in two parts.
Each year, U.S. News ranks professional school programs in a variety of disciplines, including business, education, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and public health. Most rankings were published on April 9, but rankings for medicine, engineering, and clinical psychology will be released later.
