Best Graduate Schools in Illinois

U.S. News and World Report's 2015 higher education rankings included lists for graduate programs in six different categories: business schools, education schools, engineering schools, law schools and medical schools in both research and primary care.



While there are a limited number of Illinois universities that would be ranked for graduate programs (liberal arts colleges such as Knox College or Augustana College don't offer graduate programs), Illinois is still well represented, especially in the business school ranking where two Illinois universities appear in the top 10.



The Illinois schools ranked as the best business, education and engineering schools by U.S. News and World Report are listed below, along with their overall rank, their enrollment and their location if it is different from the university's main campus.
