Recognized once again for the quality of its academic programs, St. John’s University has earned multiple spots in the latest U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of top graduate programs, which included the University’s programs in law, education, business, and library science.

The School of Law and the Master of Science in Library and Information Science earned Top 100 and Top 50 rankings, respectively. The School of Education moved up two spots to number 103 in the rankings of graduate education programs, while The Peter J. Tobin College of Business was ranked number 115 for its part-time M.B.A. program.

Each year, U.S. News ranks professional school programs based on expert opinions about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research, and students. Law school rankings are based on an institution’s successful placement of graduates, its faculty resources, the academic achievements of entering students, and opinions by law schools, lawyers, and judges on overall program quality.
