Penn’s Grad School Rankings 2018

Each year, US News & World Report ranks graduate and professional schools in business, medicine, education, law, engineering and nursing. Five of Penn’s schools are in the top 10 list.

In the latest rankings (2018), Wharton is up to #1 among MBA programs in a tie with Harvard. The Graduate School of Education moves up from #6 to #3 in a three-way tie with UCLA and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Penn’s School of Nursing is at #3 among master’s programs in nursing. The Perelman School of Medicine dropped to #5 among top medical schools for research and moved up to #8 among top medical schools for primary care in a four-way tie with the Baylor College of Medicine, University of Colorado and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Penn Law remains at #7. Penn’s School of Engineering & Applied Science remains at #19 in a four-way tie with Johns Hopkins, Northwestern and UC-Santa Barbara. 
US News does not rank all schools every year, nor does it rank Arts & Sciences as a unit; however, it ranks selected individual disciplines.

Excerpts of the annual rankings of America’s Best Graduate Schools are in the magazine. The complete survey is in the newsstand book, Best Grad Schools. For more, see www.usnews.com
