How to Read These Rankings

National Universities: An annual ranking of U.S. national research universities, focused on undergraduate outcomes: graduation and first-year retention rates, faculty resources, reputation among peer institutions and counselors, student selectivity, and graduate outcomes. Use it as a general reference for undergraduate choices — schools a few places apart are usually very close in practice.

Graduate program rankings: Ranks schools field by field (business, engineering, law, medicine, education, and their specialties), mainly on reputation surveys of deans and professionals in each discipline, plus employment outcomes and research indicators for some fields; not every field is updated every year. It shows how a specific program is regarded within its profession — most useful once you have a clear field in mind for graduate study.

Rank data is compiled from publicly released U.S. News ranking snapshots, for school-selection reference only; all rights remain with U.S. News & World Report.
