UCF is one of the best universities in the nation for students looking to continue their education and advance their careers in a wide range of professional areas, including emergency and crisis management, high-tech research and the engineering fields.
Take it from U.S. News & World Report’s 2023 Best Graduate Schools Rankings, which are based on in-depth reputational and statistical surveys from more than 800 institutions. Located in one of the nation’s major metropolitan cities, UCF is close to a host of internship and job opportunities with many of the nation’s most successful companies.
The rankings are the latest acknowledgement of UCF’s dedication to academic excellence, commitment to advancing the professional careers of students and an institutional priority for making significant societal contributions. Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report recognized UCF as one of the top 10 universities in the nation for Online Bachelor’s Programs. Last fall, the publication named UCF a national leader in innovation and social mobility. Taken as a whole, the rankings show UCF is the place to be for those looking to take their professional careers to the next level.
