Each year, U.S. News ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing, including specialties in each area. The rankings 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 come from statistical surveys of more than 2,012 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 20,500 academics and professionals, conducted in fall 2017 and early 2018.
This is the latest recognition of City College’s academic credentials by U.S. News & World Report. In fall 2017, the publication named CCNY of the top 100 Best Regional Universities in the North and a Top Public School in the North.
