U.S. News grad school rankings shine on Temple programs


Several Temple University graduate programs were ranked among the nation’s best in the latest U.S.News & World Report “America’s Best Graduate Schools” rankings released earlier this month.

The M.B.A. program at the Fox School of Business and Management continued its recent ascent, climbing seven spots to No. 51 in the nation. Over the past four years, the Fox M.B.A. has risen 32 places in U.S.News’ annual national rankings.

The program ranked among the top 25 M.B.A. programs in the nation at public institutions.

Fox’s master’s program in international business rose to No. 14 in the nation, continuing a string of national recognition for international programs across the university.

Last year, international programs at the James E. Beasley School of Law debuted in the national top 20.

Also in this year’s rankings, the Law School’s programs in trial advocacy and legal writing maintained their lofty No. 2 and No. 3 national rankings — a status they achieved last year — despite increases in the number of programs competing in these categories.

In the area of healthcare, the College of Health Professions’ occupational therapy program was ranked No. 23 nationally out of 117 programs. U.S.News ranked the Fox School’s healthcare management program No. 28 in the nation.
