The rankings appear in the April 8 issue of U.S. News &#038; World Report&#8217;s &#8220;Best Graduate Schools&#8221; guidebook.<\/p>\n<p>The five programs are: the College of Medicine rural health medicine program (ranked 18th of 125 schools surveyed) and primary care program (ranked 39th of 144 schools); the College of Nursing master&#8217;s degree program (ranked 36th of 269); the School of Allied Health Professions &#8216; physician assistant program (ranked eighth of 40) and physical therapy program (ranked 33rd of 141).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always nice to have our programs recognized nationally. The magazine&#8217;s rankings provide students with a guide when exploring their educational options and certainly validate some of the outstanding programs we have at UNMC,&#8221; said William Berndt, Ph.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs. &#8220;At the same time, we realize there are limitations in any ranking system and urge students to use many sources when selecting a graduate program.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The College of Medicine programs are ranked for 2002 and are based on a combination of statistical data (including the quality of students, faculty, and other resources) and expert assessment data (surveys sent to deans, administrators, and\/or faculty at accredited degree programs or schools in each discipline). The rest of the programs are ranked for the year 2000 and also are based on the peer assessment surveys.<\/p>\n<p>Rankings from the &#8220;Best Graduate Schools&#8221; are available online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usnews.com\" target=\"_blanK\" rel=\"noopener\">www.usnews.com<\/a>. The online edition includes longer lists of some specialty rankings, as well as additional school directory information. <\/p>\n<p>U.S. News has ranked graduate schools since 1987 and has published annual reports since 1990. Editors of the book say a ranking is one of the criteria students should consider when selecting a graduate school in addition to the student&#8217;s academic and professional ambitions, financial resources, scholastic record, and the school&#8217;s size, atmosphere and location. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five graduate programs at UNMC have been ranked by U.S. News and World Report among the top programs in the country.
