Talk to Expert
In the latest ranking by the US News and World Report of best graduate schools, Boston University's Sargent's College has retained its top spot in OT for the third time.
Boston University's Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences retained its best-in-the-nation spot among occupational therapy (OT) programs in U.S. News & World Report’s latest rankings of best graduate schools.
“These rankings are a testimonial to the high quality of our students and faculty. Our faculty are leaders in their fields—they produce high-quality research and scholarship recognized at national meetings. The faculty innovates in their curricula, creating students who are well-prepared to work as health providers. Graduates of our programs are known for being adaptive to the changing nature of work in healthcare," says Jack Dennerlein, Sargent’s dean.
Sargent topped its peer institutions in the OT rankings for the third consecutive time. The college also advanced in the 2024 rankings for its speech-language pathology program (ranked 5th best in the country, up from 10th) and physical therapy (PT) (ranked 11th, up from 20th).
The magazine ranked 263 OT programs, 280 speech programs, 245 PT programs, and 213 public health schools.
“The rankings impact the quality of students that apply to Boston University. Applicants pay attention to rankings. The rankings inform students which programs to check out; as a result, admissions into these programs are very competitive," added Dennerlein.
$100,000 was awarded to student entrepreneurs
A total of 9 students of Boston University were awarded a total of $100,000 at the Poyiadjis Hospitality Innovation Competition. Students were invited to apply to the competition with just an idea. The competition was open to teams of two to five members from any school or college (as well as Class of 2023 alums). The submission was required to fall into either of these categories - the open track, which welcomed all innovative ideas within the hospitality industry; the social impact track, tailored for ventures that are trying to make a positive economic, social, cultural, or environmental difference within the hospitality industry; and, new to this year’s competition, the student well-being track.
