US News World Report 2022 Best Grad School Education Badge

The U.S. News & World Report released its 2022 ranking for Graduate Schools of Education in the spring, and the UNC Greensboro School of Education (SOE) has been ranked #73 nationally as a Graduate School of Education, the SOE’s highest ranking on record. Within North Carolina, the UNCG SOE has the third highest ranking among Graduate Schools of Education.

Additionally, Counseling and Educational Development (CED)’s Student Counseling specialty area has been ranked #4 in the nation. The CED department has consistently been recognized as a top graduate education program by the U.S. News & World Report, ranking in the Top 8 list for more than two decades.

“These outstanding rankings not only speak to our impact on research and practice at the regional, state, and national level, they also demonstrate the transformative educational experience provided to our students,” says Randy Penfield, Dean of the UNC Greensboro School of Education.

The U.S. News & World Report rankings and data, published in full on usnews.com, are based on in-depth reputation and statistical surveys conducted in fall 2020 and early 2021 of each program in the six largest graduate school disciplines (MBA, law, education, engineering, medical, and nursing programs).
