The National Research Council at noon Tuesday finally released its much-anticipated rankings of some 5,000 doctoral programs at institutions across the country. UW-Madison officials said in an e-mailed press release that 23 university programs ranked in the top 15 percent of their respective fields.
“It is wonderful, but not surprising, that many of our graduate programs are so highly rated,” UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin said in the release. “The talent and hard work of our faculty, combined with the quality of our students and staff make our graduate programs among the best.”
