"While colleges and universities continue to provide outstanding options in undergraduate degree programs, the level of skill demanded at the highest corporate and research echelons can only be achieved through a master's or doctorate level of degree," says Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University.

"The good news is that higher education institutions are recognizing this, meeting that demand with broader and more flexible grad school degree programs, many aimed at working adults," adds Macosko. "The grad schools in our ranking stand out as those whose students and faculty contribute the most to their fields of study, which ultimately improves life for us all. These schools graduate and employ the world's most influential people, and we're spotlighting them for that reason."
