U.S. News & World Report, in its 2021 edition of the rankings “assesses multiple types of graduate programs, including the six disciplines with some of the largest enrollments: business, law, medicine, nursing, engineering and education.”
Within these broad disciplines, U.S. News adds new specialties from time to time to make these rankings more complete. Notably, this year Occupational Therapy was added. Clarkson’s OT program was included in the rankings at 157.
“Both our research-focused and professionally oriented degrees help students advance knowledge and contribute to society, all while building meaningful careers,” said Graduate School Dean, Dr. Kerop Janoyan. “I’m glad that the U.S. News graduate rankings for Clarkson reflect the quality we know characterizes everything we offer.”
