MSU continued to rank highly in graduate programs in U.S. News & World Report’s list of best graduate schools, some of which have been in the top 10 for decades.

Eight graduate programs in the College of Education ranked in the top 10.

Two of the college’s programs ranked No. 1 for the 20th consecutive year-elementary and secondary education.

Donald Heller, dean of the College of Education, said in a statement the rankings display how the work of education faculty and students are impacting the world beyond MSU.

“The research conducted by our faculty and doctoral students is recognized for the impact it is having on education not just here in Michigan, but beyond the state’s borders and around the world,” Heller said. “We are proud of this milestone, but even more proud of the work we are doing to improve teaching and learning at all levels.”

Six other programs in the College of Education also scored top-ten rankings.

These programs were: rehabilitation counseling (No. 2), curriculum/instruction (No. 4), higher education administration (No. 5), educational psychology (No. 6), administration/supervision (No. 7) and education policy (No. 10).

Other high-ranking MSU graduate programs include nuclear physics and industrial and organizational psychology, both coming in at number one.

Supply chain/logistics ranked second, and African history ranked third.
