Loyola Marymount University’s School of Education was again among the top-ranked schools in U.S. News & World Report’s latest edition of “Best Graduate Schools.” SOE shares No. 74 out of the 278 graduate schools surveyed – an increase of nine places over last year.
In the past three years SOE has jumped 57 places in the rankings and is the fourth-highest ranked Jesuit institution in the country and the ninth-ranked school of education in California.
“Our continued rise in the U.S. News survey is a testament to the impact our students, faculty, staff and alumni have on Los Angeles, the state and the national education community,” said Shane P. Martin, dean and professor of the School of Education. “This is great recognition for our excellent educator preparation programs, innovative research and collaborative partnerships.”
There are more than 1,500 schools, colleges and departments of education in the nation.
Other Jesuit institutions included in the rankings are Boston College (19th), Fordham University (65th), Marquette University (65th) and Loyola University Chicago (91st).
