Two University of Delaware online master’s programs — Education and MBA — have been ranked in the top 20 nationally by U.S. News & World Report.
The MBA program ranked tied for 20th out of 355, while the Education program ranked No. 20 out of 313.
In addition, UD’s computer information technology program rose to a tie for 41st from 50th last year in only its second year of being ranked.
US News also ranked UD’s online engineering master’s program No. 63 and its online master’s in nursing No. 134.
“These latest rankings recognize the hard work and success of our faculty and staff in building excellent programs for our students,” said President Dennis Assanis said in a statement. “Through our outstanding educational programs, UD continues to provide rewarding opportunities for those seeking to advance their careers through higher education, as well as meeting the evolving needs of our society.”
U.S. News selects several factors, known as ranking indicators, to assess each program in the categories outlined above. A program’s score for each ranking indicator is calculated using data that the program reported to U.S. News in a statistical survey and from data collected in a separate peer assessment survey.
