SDSU Graduate Programs Rank Among Nation's
Elite SDSU's programs for Speech and Language Pathology
rose to 22nd, after placing 30th in the category's last update in
2001. Other Top 50 programs in this year's new listings include
Entrepreneurship, 28th; Audiology, 36th; Clinical Psychology, 38th;
and Social Work, 46th. Jan Andersen, interim dean of the Graduate
Division at SDSU, said she was pleased to see the breadth of programs
that received recognition for their excellence in U.S. News' latest
rankings. She added that SDSU's graduate programs will continue
to evolve to meet increasing professional demands. "We're enhancing strong graduate programs
to keep our students on the leading edge of their fields,"
Andersen said. "For example, by 2007 audiologists will need
a doctorate for full certification. That's why we've established
our new joint doctoral degree with UCSD in Audiology, which enrolled
its first class last fall." SDSU also recently started the pilot phase
of one of the nation's first joint Ph.D.-MBA programs in molecular
and cell biology/life sciences, an interdisciplinary master's degree
program specializing in homeland security, and a sports business
MBA program partnership with the San Diego Padres. Other SDSU Top 50 graduate programs in categories
that U.S. News & World Report did not update this year include
Rehabilitation Counseling, 12th; and Health Services Administration,
35th. ### |
