speech-language pathology

"With graduate school enrollment on the rise, U.S. News's America's Best
Graduate Schools provides timely information for selecting and applying to the
right programs," said Brian Kelly, executive editor of U.S.News & World
Report. "The rankings and other tools -- including our online Career Center
(http://www.usnews.com/grad) -- help students with both academic and
professional development."
This year's edition of America's Best Graduate Schools also includes
articles on the following:
-- Get Your Boss to Pay for It -- Half of all workers today are eligible
for tuition benefits, up from 38 percent in 2000. U.S. News offers
advice on how to capitalize on such benefits from employers and the
government.
-- Back to School, for Adults -- One quarter of all grad students start at
age 36 or older, and nearly half of all grad students enroll between
the ages of 24 and 35. For these non-traditional students, grad school
is a delicate balance of study time and family time.
-- Your Body, Your Medicine -- Dr. Bernadine Healy explains how the rise
of "personalized medicine" -- treatments tailored to a specific
patient's genetic makeup-is changing the way medical schools teach.
-- Two for One -- More law schools are offering business school classes
and joint business degrees. This move to include more specialized and
practical training helps aspiring attorneys meld their professional
goals with their clients' needs.
