BYU Marriott once again ranks high; Nursing program makes big jump
BYU Law has earned its highest U.S. News ranking to date, rocketing up six spots from last year and coming in at No. 23 in the 2023 Best Graduate School rankings released today.
The J. Reuben Clark Law School is joined by the Marriott School of Business in earning Top-50 program ranks, with the Marriott School having two programs reach those lofty marks: The MBA program came in at No. 36 and the MPA program ranked No. 49.
Six additional BYU graduate programs ranked among the Top 100 in their disciplines:
- Speech Language Pathology, No. 63
- Nursing, No. 68
- Education, No. 84
- Mathematics, No. 91
- Computer Science, No. 99
- Chemistry, No. 100
After making a 14-spot jump last year, the BYU College of Nursing made the largest jump of BYU graduate programs yet again, leaping another 13 spots. BYU Law’s six-spot jump was preceded by an eight-spot increase last year. High placement rates for graduates and low graduate debt, among other things, are major factors in upward movement in the rankings.
BYU also had two additional graduate programs land just outside the Top 100 in their categories: Clinical Psychology (101) and Engineering (102). In specialty rankings, BYU Law and BYU Marriott both registered multiple Top-50 marks (Click here to see the full list of rankings for BYU graduate programs):
