U.S. World & News Report’s latest edition ranks the UT Austin graduate social work program #7 in the nation.
U.S. News & World Report’s graduate rankings, separate from the magazine’s yearly ranking of undergraduate programs, are among the most prestigious ratings in higher education. They are based on surveys of academic leaders and, for select programs, additional quantitative measures including placement test scores, student/faculty ratios, research expenditures and job placement success. The rankings, released March 16, 2016, indicate a slight score difference of six-tenths of a point between the top-ranked social work programs. The University of Texas at Austin and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (4.1) are tied for the seventh place. The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (4.5) is ranked No. 1.
