U.S. News once again emphasizes that its rankings should not be the sole basis for deciding on a graduate program or school.
Students should also consider other factors, such as the school's curriculum, departmental culture, total cost of earning the degree, post-graduation options, expected advising or guidance, school location, and campus life when choosing a school and program.
