Loyola Marymount University’s School of Education and College of Business Administration are continuing their climb through the U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of graduate school programs.
The School of Education is now ranked 59th across the country, the fifth straight year the program has gone up in the rankings. That puts it at No. 7 in California, and tied with Fordham University for second place among Jesuit universities.
“The School of Education’s continued ascent in these rankings is a strong testament to the impact of our faculty, staff, students and alumni on schools and communities in Los Angeles and beyond,” said Shane P. Martin, dean of the School of Education. “It’s through our people, our programs and our partnerships in the field that we make a difference in the lives of students and families.”
The College of Business Administration also saw several of its graduate programs move up in the publication’s rankings: the Entrepreneurship specialty is ranked 13, Accounting is 15 and Marketing is 16. U.S. News ranked the part-time MBA program at 52.
“Our brand awareness and reputation as a college with premier graduate business programs has grown as a result of these national recognitions,” said Dennis Draper, dean of the College of Business Administration. “These rankings reflect the commitment and investment of the entire CBA community to academic excellence, and are a testament to the high caliber of our MBA program and the students who enroll.”
Across town, Loyola Law School moved up to 75 in the overall rankings, and was recognized for its part-time program (ranked 11), trial advocacy (6) and tax law (10) programs.
