Part-time MBA, Education Programs Shine in Grad School Rankings - SDSU Newscenter

U.S. News & World Report also gave high marks to several advanced-degree programs in SDSU’s School of Public Health.

San Diego State University’s part-time MBA program and its College of Education continued to climb in new national rankings of graduate school programs by U.S. News & World Report.

The 2021 U.S. News Best Graduate School rankings, released March 17, maintain years of improvement in expert opinion and statistical indicators of their program quality.

The College of Education is No. 50 in the nation, up from No. 53 in last year’s listings. The part-time MBA program in SDSU’s Fowler College of Business is ranked No. 55, vaulting up from No. 81 last year.

Four graduate programs in SDSU’s School of Public Health all ranked in the nation’s top 50. They are speech-language pathology (No. 25), audiology (No. 29), clinical psychology (No. 33, conducted with the University of California, San Diego), and physical therapy (No. 49).

The trend for the part-time MBA program is particularly notable, up from No. 118 in the rankings released in 2018 and No. 136 the year before.

Bruce Reinig, Thomas & Evelyn Page Dean (Interim) at the Fowler College of Business, attributed the strong showing to several sources of support. “Through consulting projects, advisory boards, and funded research projects,” Reinig said, “our graduate faculty have consistently engaged the business community and government agencies to help ensure our programs deliver the content and experiences that our students need to succeed.

“We take great pride in seeing our faculty, staff and students acknowledged through the program's continued rise in the rankings,” he said.

The College of Education also has shown a steady pace in the rankings, advancing into the top 50 nationally after rising from No. 54 in 2018 and No. 57 in 2017.

“It’s so gratifying to see our college continue to rise in the rankings," said Y. Barry Chung, dean of the College of Education. "I’m so thankful to our faculty and students, whose excellence in research, teaching and service has significantly grown our national reputation.”

In engineering, SDSU had three graduate programs ranked in the nation’s top 100: aerospace engineering (No. 53, equivalent to last year’s ranking), civil engineering (No. 75, up from No. 89), and mechanical engineering (No. 94, equivalent to last year).
