“These national rankings demonstrate that our students are receiving excellent training that prepares them for relevant careers and a bright future,” said Susan Sell, dean of the NDSU Graduate School. “Indeed, during the ‘Great Reshuffle,’ we have observed a 50% increase in applications compared to this time last year. This extraordinary increase is a reflection on the high quality of our graduate programs, our committed faculty and our robust research and creative activities.”
"It is an honor being ranked among the top pharmacy programs in the country by U.S. News and World Report. It represents the commitment to excellence of our faculty, staff and students at NDSU School of Pharmacy. We are very proud of our program," said Charles Peterson, dean of the College of Health Professions.
The 2023 rankings evaluated a variety of graduate programs, including those in business, law, medicine, nursing, engineering and education.
