It's getting very close to the launch of the next America's Best Graduate Schools rankings: The 2009 edition is going to be published on Friday, March 28, 2008, the day that the new rankings go live on our website. The online site has the most complete version of the rankings, tables, and lists and also has extensive profiles of each school. In addition, the website has wide-ranging interactivity and search features to help students and parents find the right graduate school that best fits their needs.

Some of these exclusive new rankings will also be published in the magazine's April 7-14 issue and a newsstand guidebook, both of which will go on sale beginning Monday, March 31.

Notable highlights for 2009 include the following:

• New rankings of health programs in audiology, clinical psychology, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, social work, and speech-language pathology

• New rankings of master of public affairs and public policy and master of fine arts programs

• Updated rankings of Ph.D. programs in computer science, mathematics, and physics
