VCU news

Several graduate programs at Virginia Commonwealth University are ranked among the nation’s best in the 2015 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Grad Schools.”

U.S. News & World Report does not evaluate each type of graduate program every year. Instead, different program types are evaluated each year. Among those programs with updated rankings for the 2015 edition, the VCU School of Education ranks as the 30thbest graduate school for education, and the VCU School of Medicine is 61st for best primary care and 68th for best research in the medical graduate school rankings.

The 2015 edition also ranks VCU 58th for biomedical engineering/bioengineering, 84th for computer engineering, 89th for electrical/electronic/communications engineering and 132nd for mechanical engineering.

More than 1,300 graduate programs were analyzed. The 2015 rankings were released March 10.
