The magazine U.S. News and World Report ranked several of Harvard's graduate schools at the top of its annual listing of the country's best.
Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Graduate School of Education (GSE) were first in their categories, according to the rankings, which were released on Friday.
Harvard Law School (HLS) retained its second place position behind Yale, tying Stanford.
But the Harvard Business School (HBS) fell one spot from last year's top ranking, losing out to Stanford and tying for second with Northwestern University and the University of Pennsylvania.
The graduate school issue is on newsstands today. The rankings can also be found at the magazine's website, www.usnews.com.
The special "America's Best Graduate Schools" guidebook will be available in bookstores tomorrow.
Jerome T. Murphy, dean of the GSE, said he was "delighted" the school was named number one, but reminded students that GSE is only one of many excellent schools.
Murphy said the ranking system can accurately divide schools into broad levels of quality but, beyond that, it is not very useful.
"Of course, I thought they were less useful when we were ranked lower," he joked.
