Results of USNews Online Search for Chapel Hill

Each program is linked to its listing at U.S. News online; the numerical scores were transcribed by hand, so double-checking via the link is a good idea. This list may not be complete. In addition, some departments were not rated in 1998 and are listed based on their 1997 or 1996 evaluation. For a list of the subject areas that U.S. News rated in each year, see US News Rankings; you also may want to review the magazine's methodology, which gets mixed reviews. (Here's a related Chapel Hill News story. And a UNC press release headlined: 29 graduate, specialty programs ranked highly.)
