Emory University’s graduate and professional schools and programs continue to be ranked among the best in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Best Graduate Schools, which was released April 9.

The annual list uses data, surveys and other information to rank programs in schools of nursing, public health, business, law and other areas. The publication has delayed releasing rankings for medical schools, engineering schools and clinical psychology programs because of concerns with the data.

Here are the Emory schools included in this year’s national rankings:

The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing master’s program ranks 1st in the nation. The school’s doctor of nursing practice program is 6th.

The Rollins School of Public Health ranks 3rd in the nation.  In the category of public health programs, U.S. News issued rankings for several master’s programs: biostatistics (5th), environmental health science (3rd), epidemiology (4th), health policy and management (8th) and social behavior (3rd). 

Goizueta Business School’s full-time MBA program ranks 18th. The Executive MBA program is 13th and the part-time program is 20th.

The School of Law ranks 42nd in the nation. Multiple programs within the school also received rankings including business/corporate law (22nd), constitutional law (25th), contracts/commercial law (21st) and health care law (21st).

The Laney Graduate School awards all PhDs at Emory in partnership with faculty located in various schools and departments across the university. Among doctoral science programs, computer science is 64th.

In U.S. News’ rankings of nursing master’s programs, Emory’s nurse practitioner, adult/gerontology, primary care is 3rd ; nurse practitioner, adult/gerontology, acute care is 4th; and family nurse practitioner program is 4th.

In rankings of Emory’s doctor of nursing practice programs, adult gerontology/acute care is 4th; adult gerontology/primary care is 3rd; family practice 5th; and nurse administration management 6th.

Each school may have additional information about rankings issued to specific programs. Not all graduate and professional programs are ranked annually.

Graduate School Marshal Takes Community-Engaged Approach to Scholarship

Graduate School marshal Andrew Ridgeway , a doctoral student and graduate teaching assistant in the College of Arts and Sciences’ composition and cultural rhetoric program (CCR), is no stranger to academic honors. In 2022, he won the prestigious Mary Hatch Marshall Essay Award and was one of nine graduate students to receive the Graduate Dean’s Award for Excellence in Research and Creative Work .   

Ridgeway has also served as graduate research assistant for the Engaged Humanities Network (EHN) and received a $10,000 grant from Humanities New York to help high school students at the North Side Learning Center create a speech and debate team. Those students went on to successfully compete in public forum debate tournaments, Model United Nations and New York State History Day .    

A native of Boise, Idaho, Ridgeway received a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Boise State University and a master’s degree in literature from the University of Vermont. He says he chose Syracuse University for doctoral studies because of the unique community engagement emphasis of the composition and cultural rhetoric program.

Ridgeway recently discussed his experiences here, his passion for community-engaged scholarship and his plans after graduation.

Syracuse has one of the best composition programs in the country and it has a really unique record of students and faculty do ing public – facing research work . When I visited, every faculty member I spoke to could draw a line from their research to a project in the community. I was really impressed at the extent to which research and scholarship is tie d to practical application s . Public humanities projects appeal to me and I wanted to be part of t he work people in my depa rtment do to serve the ir communit ies . The CCR program really put s that community -facing work front and center. 

The intellectual freedom and the extent of support that I’ve received for the kind of work I’ve wanted to do. I’ve had full support and encouragement for my ideas and that has opened doors for me, truly enriching my experience.

My focus blends digital rhetoric and classical rhetoric to examine how misinformation and conspiracy theories circulate on social media. That’s not a combination most people would think of but I’m really fortunate that I found a community of people who have encouraged me to pursue that.   

What I love about rhetoric more generally is that it’s so open-ended and there is so much room to explore, yet it also incorporates ideas from 2,000 years ago. Anything can be rhetorical, so I’m always finding new things to write about.

Andrew Ridgeway

Brice Nordquist [ associate professor of writing studies, rhetoric and composition, Dean’s Professor of Community Engagement and EHN founder and director] works very hard to create connections and opportunities for graduate students, faculty and members of the Syracuse community. Brice taught me the importance of having a participatory model of community-driven humanities engagement. The emphasis always has to be on creating a mutually beneficial partnership between the community and the University, where both are bringing different resources and knowledge to the table.

My EHN work with the speech and debate team at the North Side Learning Center was an incredible learning experience for me because the students set the agenda, ran the meetings and made the hiring decisions. They did a lot of the recruiting, too. I handled the administrative stuff and helped them with their speeches, but it was their team from the beginning. I’m really honored they approached me and invited me to be part of that project.

I know that I want my career to be in academia. I’m applying for a range of positions, including postdoctoral roles, assistant professor positions and director of writing center positions. There are lots of different avenues for this type of degree. I’m a person who has always been interested in everything, so the hard part will be choosing.

It’s hard to put it into words.   

I think of Syracuse as a community that I’m part of, that I care about and am invested in, and I want it to succeed. I’m so honored that my work is being recognized by the community in this way, and I’m also humbled because there are so many graduate students who are doing incredible work at Syracuse. I’m just blown away by their projects and the quality of their research. The things my colleagues are doing are going to make a huge difference in the world. So, when I see all the incredible work they’re doing, being selected class marshal is a huge and unexpected honor.

DSI-MnDRIVE

Dsi-mndrive phd graduate assistantship program 2024.

Research Computing has opened the application period for the 2024 DSI-MnDRIVE Graduate Assistantship program. This program supports U of M PhD candidates pursuing research at the intersection of data science and any of the five MnDRIVE areas : Robotics; Global Food; Environment; Brain Conditions; and Cancer Clinical Trials. 

“Data science” in this case is defined broadly as the collection of approaches and disciplines encompassing the entire data pipeline. Proposals must align with one of the Data Science tracks:

• Foundational Data Sciences: Foundational disciplines that underlie applied data science, including statistics, mathematics, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, ethics, philosophy, and social and behavioral sciences.
• Digital Health and Personalized Health Care Delivery: The broad scope of digital health includes categories such as mobile health (mHealth), health information technology (IT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, and personalized medicine. It includes enhancements to patient healthcare and healthcare delivery through continuous, personalized, predictive, participative, and preventive approaches.

The program aims to support approximately ten 12-month research assistantships for a 12-month (2 semesters and 1 summer), 50% graduate research assistantship, including tuition for up to 14 credits each semester (Fall & Spring) and subsidized health insurance through the Graduate Assistant Health Plan (contact department/unit accountant for current rates). Depending on the number of applicants and the availability of funding, smaller stipends may also be offered. The assistantships may begin as early as the beginning of the 2024 Spring term and must be started by June 1, 2024.

Graduate students are expected to have successfully completed their preliminary oral exam by the start of the appointment. Depending on the availability of funding, awards may include up to $1,500 for travel to a conference or to defray costs for specialized training support if they are directly related to the proposed research. A final report of accomplishments made possible by this support is expected after the completion of this award. 

Complete applications are due by October 6, 2023, 5:00 p.m. CDT . Fellowship awards will be announced by early December. Complete program details and application link .

Please send any questions concerning the program to Sarah Landwehr at [email protected] .
