UCLA Arts ranked 2nd among fine arts graduate programs in the US
UCLA's graduate programs consistently perform well in multiple rankings that use a wide range of criteria. Last fall, the university and the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture were both named No. 1 among public institutions. U.S News and World Report recently released their latest rankings, naming six UCLA professional schools and graduate programs among the top five and another seven among the top 10. The UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture is again named No. 2 among fine arts programs, No. 1 among public institutions.
The U.S. News graduate program rankings are based on experts’ opinions about program excellence and on statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students. The data for the rankings come from statistical surveys of more than 2,000 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 20,500 academics and professionals, conducted in fall 2017 and early 2018.
