Programs Rate as Best in the Country
GW’s Law School, Graduate
School of Education and Human Development, and graduate programs in

US News & World Report, which hit the streets April 8.
The GW Law School is tied for 25th on this year’s list. Among
law specialties, GW’s intellectual property law program is ranked
second in the nation. The international law program moved up four slots
to sixth, while the environmental law program is ranked ninth. The
Law School also was recognized as having one of the most racially diverse
student bodies in the nation, ranking 15th on the list for “Law
School Diversity.”

granting doctoral degrees surveyed this year.
The magazine also included its most recent analysis of various health
professions, where GW’s physician assistant program is ranked second
