In addition to its strengths in Philosophy, the University's graduate programs in Anthropology, Artificial Intelligence, Astronomy, Business, Chemistry, Classics, Computer Sciences, Engineering, Geography, Geology, German, Latin American Studies, Law, Linguistics, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, and Zoology are regularly ranked among the fifteen best in the United States.

The Philosophy Department, one of the nation's largest, was recently ranked among the top twenty programs in the United States, based on a survey of over 200 philosophers conducted by the Philosophical Gourmet Report. The Department's national standing has improved, and, thanks to strong administrative support for additional hiring in the near future, the Department seeks to establish itself firmly among the nation's very best programs.
