Graduate Education Here at LMU, a culture in undergraduate teaching and research is typically emphasized. However, unknown to many students, there exists an equally prestigious graduate division. With programs covering all schools and colleges, the graduate programs emphasize continuing one’s scholarship and education while maintaining a foundation in the Jesuit principles governing the University. In recent years, the graduate school has been expanding, both in student population and in program variety. Over the past several years, some programs have grown at a rate of 5-10% which has allowed for an increase in the degrees offered but maintained a small student-teacher ratio that encourages collaboration and participatory learning. The programs are flourishing and developing, the MBA program is currently ranked 13th nationally. The School of Education is ranked 86 having jumped 45 points from its national ranking last year. In addition, the School welcomed its first doctoral degree in Educational Leadership for Social Justice and graduated its first cohort in 2007.
