Case Western Reserve University’s two schools with highest graduate student enrollment each posted gains in this year’s U.S. News & World Report graduate and professional school rankings, and two of its smaller schools maintained their top-10 spots.

Thanks in large part to impressive increases in research funding, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine improved one spot to 24^th in the country this year, with pediatrics appearing at 17^th and—in a new ranking for the magazine—its biostatistics program at 28^th. 

Meanwhile, Case School of Engineering climbed seven notches to 45^th, its first time back in the 40s since 2016. Its chemical engineering program climbed from 41^st to 34^th, materials science from 40^th to 35^th and civil engineering improved from 57^th to 47^th. Computer engineering improved six slots, to 50^th, and the school’s highest-ranked department, biomedical engineering, fell by one, to 18^th. 

The Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, meanwhile, retained its ninth-place ranking in social work—among nearly 300 accredited schools and programs—after a two-year hiatus in U.S. News’ annual survey of academic leaders in the discipline. 

And the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing’s master’s degree in acute gerontological care stayed at No. 7 in the nation, while its overall master’s degree improved from 13^th to 11^th in the country this year. The overall Doctor of Nursing Practice ranking, meanwhile, slipped three spots from last year to 15^th.

While Weatherhead School of Management saw its full-time MBA ranking slip one spot to 82^nd, its information systems offerings tied for 19^th with Purdue.

The law school’s overall program ranked 78^th this year, down six positions from last year, while this year health law is 13^th and international law 21^st.
