Graduate programs in higher education administration offered by the Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia were ranked among the top five in the nation in the most recent rankings compiled by U.S. News & World Report. The rankings appear in the 2019 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools guidebook, which became available March 20, 2018. IHE offers the Ph.D., Ed.D. and M.Ed. degrees and its graduate programs in higher education administration have ranked among the top ten in the nation for more than a decade. In the latest ranking, the programs were tied for 5th place with those at Indiana University-Bloomington. UGA and Vanderbilt (ranked #8) are the only Southern schools among the top 15 programs. “The top 15 ranked schools include prestigious institutions, both public and private,” said IHE Director Libby V. Morris. “The fact that we climbed two spots in the rankings this year is a reflection of the quality of our faculty and programs at the institute and the work we do collectively to explore critical issues in higher education and prepare future leaders. Recent graduates are climbing the ranks of the professoriate ladder, while other alumni are working in senior leadership positions across post-secondary education.” The Institute of Higher Education was founded in 1964.
