US News & World Report Rankings

Every year, they do rankings of colleges and universities. They just came out with an issue about best Graduate Schools. While walking through Kroger last night, I spotted it and read it for a minute.

The rankings for part-time MBA programs surprised me. Not because of where GSU was located - I knew that already. I just didn't know the others around it - which are more notable than I thought the list would be:

1) NYU
2) Univ. of Chicago
3) Northwestern
4) UCLA
5) UC Berkeley
6) USC
7) Georgia State (tie)
8) Michigan (tie)
9) Minnesota-Twin Cities
10) Southern Methodist

I'm surprised (in a good way) that it is rated on par with Michigan.

As for full-time programs, GSU did not rank in the top 50. But Emory came in at 18, which is a big drop for them. Good. I hope they fall even further. Not that there's any antipathy to Emory or anything...
