New data from the National Research Council evaluated Ecology graduate programs in the United States.  A web site offering those rankings is at http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/ecology Because programs differ in facets of their faculty research and training, there are a number of ways that programs could be ranked.  Using the NRC’s ranking system with equal ranking of their survey and regression data, CSU’s GDPE lands at the #18 spot (see the list here).  Great recognition for a program that we think is outstanding!
