Education College Cracks Top 100 List in U.S. News & World Report Survey

Old Dominion University's Darden College of Education has been ranked as a Top 100 graduate school of education by the latest U.S. News & World Report guide to university graduate programs.

The college moved onto the list for the first time, ranking at 96. "This is good news for our college," said Dean William Graves. "We will now aim for the Top 50."

The U.S. News rankings are based on two types of data: expert opinion about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students.

These data come from surveys of more than 1,200 programs and some 14,000 academics and professionals that were conducted in fall 2007.
