This review is from: Best Graduate Schools 2012 (U. S. News Best Graduate Schools) (Paperback)

On the cover it says, "Business, Law, Medicine, Education, Engineering and More." The "and More" part is practically a lie. They have a few random majors in there on a page or two - but nothing useful to anyone who isn't pursuing Business, Law, Medicine, Education, Engineering or Ceramics.

Fast shipping. The book provides a brief description of essential information of all the schools of general interests. But I was kinda expecting more, including detailed introduction of several top schools, and a ranking list of schools in more specific field. Those may be too demanding for a book at this price.

This review is from: Best Graduate Schools 2012 (U. S. News Best Graduate Schools) (Paperback)

We like that this has all the major ranked and unranked schools nationally. It goes further in detail than any other MBA Graduate Program Comparison we've seen, including by region and program strengths as well as admission requirements, academic concentrations and financial costs.
