What it is:  U.S. News & World Report annually publishes a well-recognized ranking of top schools. It is among the most cited rankings.

Why it Matters to You: Each fully accredited pharmacy program receives a “Peer Assessment Score.” The database can be searched based on score or alphabetically. Each of the entries links to further information about the school, including its ranking in other academic disciplines, e.g., health care management or occupational therapy.

Considerations:  All rankings are based solely on the results of peer assessment surveys sent to deans, other administrators and/or faculty at accredited degree programs or schools in each discipline. Respondents rated the academic quality of programs on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). They were instructed to select "don't know" if they did not have enough knowledge to rate a program. Only fully accredited programs in good standing during the survey period are ranked.
