Brigham Young University's business and law schools are again among the top 50 in the United States, reports U.S. News & World Report in its latest annual edition of "Best Graduate Schools."

Other BYU graduate programs and specialties rank in the top 100 in their categories.

The Marriott School of Management is ranked 32nd, up one spot from last year, while the J. Reuben Clark Law School stayed at 42nd.

In a ranking new this year, the Law School jumps up 10 spots to 32nd when ranked by law firm recruiters.

In specialty rankings, the Marriott School ranks 7th in accounting and 24th in entrepreneurship.

The Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology is ranked 59th in mechanical engineering, 68th in chemical engineering and 73rd in civil engineering.

The rankings come from data from surveys of more than 1,200 programs nationwide, and were based on two types of data: expert opinion about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students.
