This year's latest ranking covers the best graduate schools in business, education, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, public affairs and public health, including master's degrees, doctoral degrees and professional doctoral degrees. At the same time, a brand-new ranking has been added: the ranking of doctoral courses in economics and psychology in social sciences and humanities, and the ranking of doctoral courses in mathematics, statistics, biological sciences, computer science, chemistry and earth sciences. The ranking is based on a new indicator added by the College of Education: the total number of doctorates awarded (0.025%, brand new this year), which refers to the total number of doctorates awarded in education from 2020 to 20021year. This change was introduced to measure the teacher resources, and its weight was reduced from 0.05% to 0.025%, which effectively reflected the improvement of the overall number of doctoral graduates. The weight of each faculty member's participation in federal scientific research in research medical colleges decreased from 15% to 10%, and the weight of federal scientific research project expenditure increased from 25% to 30%. This change is to pay more attention to scientific research data rather than the number of faculty. For the first time, American News published the ranking of doctoral programs in biostatistics. Because experts predicted that career opportunities in this field would increase, American News deliberately added this part of reference data to this year's ranking. school of law
