Ivies continue to stand out as top graduate school programs in the anticipated U.S. News and World Report rankings released Friday. The list, geared for the 2010 academic year, comes at a time when more undergraduate students are prolonging their education to avoid the job market or full-time workers are looking to gain an edge through an advanced degree.
Among the standouts of this year’s list include Harvard University’s No. 1 positions for top business school and medical school research programs while Yale University took the top law school program position. UWIRE affiliates are covering the rankings.
