\n\t\tNational Research Council puts a third program in top 20<\/i><\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 December 15, 2010 \u2013 The good news just keeps coming for the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School, as it learned that two of its doctoral programs rank in the top 10 nationally and a third is ranked in the top 20.<\/p>\n


\nThe rankings follow a survey done by the National Research Council, a part of the Council of Graduate Schools. 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s programs in Environmental and National Resource Economics and in Oceanography were ranked in the top 10, earning high marks for research and their ability to attract external research funding. Nutrition and Food Science, which was cited for its student support and outcomes, was ranked in the top 20.<\/p>\n


\nThe Environmental and National Resource Economics program ranked in the top 10 along with Cornell University, the University of Wisconsin and the University of California-Berkeley.<\/p>\n


\nThe National Research Council\u2019s assessment of research-doctorate programs analyzes more than 5,000 programs at 212 universities, spanning 62 fields.<\/p>\n


\nThe news comes on the heels of news that the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School has experienced its sharpest increase in applications and enrollment in a decade.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cU.S. graduate schools are a strategic national asset, and the results of this important study will help academic leaders and policy makers establish benchmarks for higher education both here and around the globe,\u201d said Debra W. Stewart, Council of Graduate Schools president. \u201cDoctoral education strengthens our country\u2019s research base and develops the talent we need to remain competitive in the knowledge-based global economy of the 21st century.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nThe data collection effort required the participating universities to analyze and compile statistics on more than 60 characteristics of their doctoral programs, such as faculty productivity, students, financing and graduate placement.<\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School offers 25 doctoral programs and 33 master\u2019s programs.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cIt\u2019s excellent that we have three programs in the top 20, but we\u2019d like to see more,\u201d said Nasser Zawia, interim dean of the Graduate School. \u201cOne of the keys to increasing that number is to encourage more 溏心vlog免费B站 departments to participate in the national survey. The Graduate School can offer assistance to those departments in filling out those surveys. We\u2019d like to have five programs in the top 20, and with some support and resources, that goal is certainly attainable.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nZawia said nationally and internationally, 溏心vlog免费B站 is recognized for its renowned graduate programs. \u201cThree nationally-ranked programs is not really reflective of who we are,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have many more programs that are among the best in the country and in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe are a major research institution, and we have an impact, regionally, nationally and internationally,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
