Western Michigan University graduate programs that ranked in the top 100 by U.S. News and World Report were audiology (No. 46 - tie), occupational therapy (No. 58 - tie), rehabilitation counseling (No. 58 - tie), social work (No. 94 - tie), speech-language pathology (No. 63 - tie) and statistics (No. 96 - tie). For the 2023-24 Best Graduate Colleges ranking, U.S. News and World Report evaluated institutions based on two types of data: expert opinion about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students. The data for the rankings in all six disciplines came from statistical surveys of 2,214 programs and from reputation surveys sent to approximately 6,300 academics and 12,690 professionals, conducted in fall 2022 and early 2023. To gather the peer assessment data, U.S. News asked deans, program directors and senior faculty to judge the academic quality of programs in their field on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). To assess academic reputation in business, education, engineering, law, nursing and medicine, U.S. News also surveyed professionals who hire or work with new graduates. In summer 2022, schools supplied U.S. News with the names of those to be surveyed for peer assessment in fall 2022 and early 2023. Please review U.S. News and World Report for detailed information about Western's graduate program rankings.
