Among 190 schools and colleges of education in U.S. News & World Report's recent graduate school rankings, the College of Education was ninth in terms of selectivity. According to U.S. News, Lehigh's College of Education accepted just under 35 percent of students who applied last fall. The lower the percentage accepted, the more selective a school. Several criteria, including selectivity, make up the overall ranking of the nation's graduate schools of education. Lehigh ranked 59th overall. "The faculty, students and alumni deserve the credit for this ranking," said Ronald Yoshida, dean of Lehigh's education college. "We only have 25 faculty members and these rankings don't adjust for faculty size. Nearly all the colleges in the top 50 of this ranking are at least 40 percent larger than us. We are proud to be a small, but productive and powerful college that serves the region and the nation." In fact, Yoshida was equally gratified with another criteria, research funding. A measure of the total funding by grants received by faculty, Lehigh placed 35th. "This was truly an achievement," Yoshida said. "We have always known that our faculty were productive scholars, but this ranking confirms what we've always known." Student feedback mirrors the rankings. Stephanie Walkup '96, a current graduate student in the civil and environmental engineering program, chose to augment her technical knowledge with an education minor. "As part of my minor, I took a class in curriculum construction where I found out about the seven different learning styles," Walkup said. "I've found that this has helped me as a teaching assistant, because I can change the way I'm going over material to adapt to each student." Walkup hopes to become a professor some day, and was trained for her job as a teaching assistant. "Ray Bell, the department chairperson, taught us basic teaching principles. There is such a strong resource base in the College of Education, and I think students and faculty alike should take advantage of the courses offered." - Bill Johnson LEHIGH LehighWeek Office of Communications/Design 422 Brodhead Avenue Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015-3067 MARIE C.
