Several programs at UW-Milwaukee performed well in the latest rankings from U.S. News & World Report<\/a> of undergraduate programs in the United States.<\/p>\n

UWM\u2019s nursing<\/a> program ranked among the top 15% nationally, placing at No. 94 among 671 programs considered.<\/p>\n

UWM\u2019s business<\/a> and psychology<\/a> programs ranked among the top quarter of programs in the country, while its computer science<\/a> program ranked among the top 30%.<\/p>\n

UWM\u2019s overall ranking<\/a> continued its steady climb in recent years, advancing 13 spots after moving up 34 spots over the previous two years.<\/p>\n

The annual rankings consider 17 key measures, including graduation rates, graduate indebtedness and post-graduate earnings. More than 1,700 colleges and universities were evaluated.<\/p>\n

The rankings, which U.S. News has calculated for four decades, are intended to provide prospective students and their families a look at the comparative merits of undergraduate programs across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
