CCNY offers some of the best graduate programs in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report's 2022 rankings.
The City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering is now ranked #127 among U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools. The only public school of engineering in the metropolitan area climbs two places this year on the list of 221 elite graduate engineering programs on the 2022 U.S. News rankings released today.
U.S. News also ranks five other City College programs among the best nationally. The physician assistant program in the CUNY School of Medicine at City College remains at #46; fine arts in the Division of Humanities and the Arts is [#64]; and the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership offerings clinical psychology [#101], public affairs [# 123] and psychology [#148] also rank highly.
Each year, U.S. News ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing, including specialties in each area.
The Best Graduate Schools rankings in these areas are based on two types of data: expert opinions about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students.
The data for the rankings in all six disciplines came from statistical surveys of more than 2,125 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 23,000 academics and professionals, conducted in fall 2020 and early 2021. Click here to read the complete methodology.
