Lynn University’s graduate education program ranked by U.S. News & World Report
Lynn University’s graduate education program has been recognized as one of the top programs in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in their 2024 Best Graduate Schools rankings.
Lynn’s Donald E. and Helen L. Ross College of Education offers two distinguished graduate degree tracks: educational leadership and exceptional student education (ESE). The master’s in educational leadership is a one-year online program, whereas the Florida Department of Education-certified ESE specialization is available for completion on campus, online or via a hybrid format—ideal for working professionals who aspire to leadership positions in education.
“The College of Education faculty is extremely pleased and proud to be recognized among some of the nation’s best colleges and universities,” said Kathleen Weigel, dean of the College of Education. “Our graduate students continue to utilize their educational experiences and knowledge to positively impact and improve their respective environments for the good of the children and communities they serve.”
This recognition underscores Lynn’s commitment to providing accelerated, convenient, and affordable education while preparing future education leaders to excel in their careers and contribute meaningfully to society. U.S. News also ranked Lynn in its Best Online Programs lists for bachelor’s programs, graduate education and MBA programs earlier this year.
