The 2015 Best Graduate Schools table ranks universities in five of the largest professional graduate school disciplines: business, law, education, engineering and medicine.

The results reveal that the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania has climbed from third place to tie with Harvard University and Stanford University as the best full-time MBA programme in the country, ahead of the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

“A graduate degree is a major investment of both time and money,” said Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of US News and World Report.

“Our Best Graduate Schools rankings are designed to help prospective students research and identify the right programmes to pursue in their field of interest.”
