U.S. News & World Report Ranks UToledo Graduate Programs Among Nation's Best

A number of graduate programs at The University of Toledo, across a broad array of disciplines, are among the best in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report's latest rankings.

U.S. News released its list of 2026 Best Graduate Schools on Tuesday, April 7, with UToledo ranking in 18 subject areas, with more than half of those rankings on the rise this year.

UToledo's Occupational Therapy program was the highest-ranked program, placing in the top quarter of national graduate programs.

Occupational therapy was one of 10 UToledo graduate programs that rose on their respective ranking lists this year, with big leaps for physical therapy and speech-language pathology, along with increases for clinical psychology, mathematics, part-time M.B.A., public health, physics, pharmacy and full-time law.

Also placing among the nationally ranked graduate programs are medical primary care, medical research, education, statistics, chemistry, nursing, engineering and part-time law.

"To be recognized at the national level for excellent program quality in so many different disciplines is gratifying," said UToledo Provost Mitchell S. McKinney. "It reflects the University's overall focus on the success of our students, the hard work of our outstanding faculty and the growing reputation of our programs."

U.S. News' Best Graduate Schools rankings are determined by two types of data: expert assessment of program excellence and/or statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students.

The graduate rankings are the latest in a series of recognitions for UToledo from U.S. News & World Report, which ranked the University in its 2026 Best Colleges in September and its 2026 Best Online Bachelor's Programs in January.
