In parallel to historical rankings that have assessed programs based on faculty research productivity (see citations above), faculty applied experiences and qualifications are a component of our ranking procedure. Faculty applied experience was included to help applicants evaluate the type of mentoring they can expect in a program. One might expect that faculty who themselves have engaged in applied experiences (e.g., consulting clients) would be better able to supervise students who are engaged in hands-on experiences (e.g., fieldwork, internships, projects) by modelling the expected behavior. This is the educational approach suggested in the SIOP Guidelines (2016) for building professional competence. Faculty experiences/information included faculty-to-student ratio, proportion of faculty who engage in consulting, and proportion of faculty who supervise consulting projects. Because scholarship is essential to quality applied intervention, we also included an item to reflect faculty research productivity.
The assessment of student accomplishments evaluates programs in terms of what applicants could expect while matriculating (e.g., assistantships) as well as upon graduation (e.g., obtaining jobs). To the extent that strong students help attract and retain other strong students and build the reputation and human capital of a program, student accomplishments can be viewed as an indicator of program quality (cf. Schneider, 1987). Perhaps more intuitively, student accomplishments can be viewed as an outcome of program quality. Therefore, we decided to present program rankings on the student accomplishments/information dimension as well as an outcome of the other three factors that we measured. Student accomplishments/information included items concerning percentage of non-doctoral-bound students who obtain an I-O job within a year, active participation in I-O-related student chapters, assistantships, graduation rates, and presentations at conferences.
The final survey consisted of 53 questions. The items were written and placed into the four dimensions noted earlier for ranking purposes: applied experience, curriculum, faculty expertise/information, and student accomplishments/information. Additional items assessed "demographic" program data that were not used for ranking purposes (e.g., faculty diversity, job tenure, private or public university). At the end of our survey, we provided a link to a page provided by a team of researchers at Appalachian State University who were conducting a different ranking survey for SIOP.
The items on the survey were developed using several factors. One was the inclusion of items to collect program data that are regularly reported by SIOP via input from program coordinators, (e.g., number of I-O faculty, graduate employment, average program completion time). Other items were written to be consistent with previous surveys (e.g., Tett et al., 2013) and SIOP's 2016 Guidelines for Education and Training in Industrial-Organizational Psychology (e.g., curriculum coverage, applied focus for MA/MS programs). Finally, the items were reflective of those contained in previous program ranking surveys, such as applied experience, coursework, financial aid, and student research opportunities (Bulger, Horvath, & Zickar; Kraiger & Abalos, 2004). We originally planned to conduct a pilot study from a random sample of I-O coordinators to assist in item construction, but the tight timeframe for data collection made this approach untenable.
Because items varied in terms of response format (e.g., ordinal categories, continuous data), all responses were scaled from 0 to 1 in order to sum items into category scores. For example, responses were assigned point values (e.g., 0 to 5) based on higher scores being indicative of greater quality (e.g., number of hours needed for internships, total I-O related hours required, total program hours, number of I-O faculty). Points were then divided by the number of options that were available on each item. Further, items that asked about proportions were divided by 100 (e.g., percent of I-O students who graduate, percent of students who do an internship). Items were averaged together to create category scores on which programs were ranked. Finally, category scores were combined to provide an overall ranking. Data cleaning was informed by content coding of qualitative write-in responses, referencing the SIOP program database, and in some cases, replying to emails from respondents.4 For instance, in order to enhance the accuracy and consistency of survey responses, we responded to several emails to clarify the meaning of various items.
A strength of our project was its focus on objective, quantifiable factors rather than potentially biased opinions of satisfied (or dissatisfied) respondents. We tried to include data that most program coordinators would likely be collecting as they assess and track their own programs. Finally, at 54%, our response rate was quite respectable, thus adding to the representativeness of our findings. With more and more programs competing for qualified students, we expect that future updates to the rankings will include data from all available programs. The survey results could help guide decision makers (e.g., curriculum, applied experiences) in taking steps to improve their individual programs. It is our hope that the discrete, objective information contained in our results will be combined with additional subjective data that will allow prospective students to identify programs that best fit their interests and career goals.
The University of South Florida is home to more than two dozen graduate programs considered among the best in America, according to new rankings released by U.S. News & World Report.

The Gillings School of Global Public Health was ranked second out of 213 schools and programs of public health in the U.S. for the seventh consecutive rankings period. The Gillings School has also maintained its position as the top public school of public health and has been ranked among the top schools and programs of public health by U.S. News since the magazine first ranked public health schools in 1987. U.S. News & World Report does not rank all graduate programs each year.
Altogether, 23 programs increased their rankings, including multiple programs in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, School of Nursing, School of Education, Kenan-Flagler Business School and UNC School of Law.
This year marks the first time since U.S. News & World Report began ranking law schools in 1987 that UNC School of Law has reached No. 20 out of 196 law schools. The UNC School of Law is also the seventh-ranked public law school.
