Two University of Tennessee-Knoxville programs are in a national news magazine-s top 20 rankings of graduate education in the United States.
UT-Knoxville-s library science program tied with four other schools for 20th in the annual U.S. News and World Report rankings. The University of North Carolina and the University of Illinois tied for first.
The vocational-technical education program pulled a ninth place rating in the specialty programs category.
UT-Knoxville’s College of Education was 46th, up two places from last year. U.S. News reviewed 188 education colleges. Harvard is first in the education rankings.
The UT-Knoxville College of Law moved up one position from last year to 47th among the 175 law schools the magazine reviewed. Yale University leads the law ratings.
The publication-s rankings, available on newsstands next week, are based on reputation, student selectivity and faculty research.
