BSOS Graduate Programs Highly Ranked by U.S. News

Once again, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences received high rankings for several of its graduate programs from U.S. News & World Report. These rankings include #1 in Criminology—a position held for many years—and #1 for the second consecutive year in the Counseling program offered by the Department of Psychology and the College of Education.

BSOS Rankings in the 2022 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools listing:

#1 Criminology

#1 Counseling (PSYC & EDUC)

#14 Sociology of Population

#21 Economics

#24 Sociology

#28 Political Science

“BSOS faculty, students, staff and alumni have once again led us to well-deserved national recognition,” said Dean Greg Ball. “While we know that rankings do not reflect the totality and overall value of what we offer to our students and to our colleagues in academe, we do know that prospective students and faculty members look to these rankings for guidance when selecting institutions and programs. I am very proud that our college and our university consistently make an excellent showing.”

Not all graduate programs are ranked every year. The most recent additional U.S. News rankings for BSOS programs are:

#6 Sociology: Sex and Gender

#9 Geosciences (Globally)

#10 Audiology

#16 Speech-Language Pathology

#33 Clinical Psychology

#39 Psychology
