UAMS COP isn't nationally ranked, but the Pharmaceutical Science Department is ranked fifth in the nation. It is based on the amount of grant money received. More grant money, the higher the ranking.
Niether of the MWU schools choose to participate in the rankings. Schools can decide whether or not they want to be on the list. So there are many goods schools that aren't on there!
From what I read about the ranking, the schools can choose whether or not to participate in the rankings. More than one school do not participate in the rankings!!!!!
