U.S. News graduate school rankings: CEHS leaps to 34 in national list

19 Mar 2012    

 

The College of Education and Human Sciences was ranked among Best Education Schools at 34th, up from 50th last year, and up from 75th in 2003. 

Dean Marjorie Kostelnik said she never consciously focused on improving the college's U.S. News and World Report’s graduate school rankings, instead the focus has been on striving for excellence in all professional education programs. That’s come about in part through the college’s participation in “national-stage” programs, like the Carnegie project on the education doctorate, which resulted in improvement of the doctoral program; and the national accreditation and national reviews that have pulled people to Nebraska, she said. 

The ranking of three unit programs is especially significant. The college's Special Education department ranked 17, Speech Pathology ranked 17, and Audiology ranked 36.

“We’re really glad that people recognize we have innovative programs, excellent faculty, and that we produce outstanding graduates,” Kostelnik said.
