Schmidt College of Medicine also climbed a remarkable 70 places to No. 27 for the percentage of graduates practicing in underserved or health professional shortage areas — up from No. 97 just a year ago.

Other graduate programs that rose in the rankings include:

• Rehabilitation counseling, up 7 spots to No. 29
