Northern Arizona University ranks fourth in the nation for conferring the highest number of master\u2019s degrees to Native American students and first for graduating Native American students with master\u2019s degrees in education.<\/p>\n

The rankings are produced by\u00a0Diverse Issues in Higher Education<\/em>\u00a0magazine\u2019s annual report which recognizes institutions that confer the largest number of degrees to minority students based on the 2008-09 academic school year.<\/p>\n

NAU earned multiple top 10 rankings for minority master\u2019s degree production, including 10th for master\u2019s in education for all minority groups and also for master’s degrees in education awarded to Hispanics. In all, the university received 10 rankings for graduating minority students with master\u2019s degrees.<\/p>\n

The report ranks doctoral degrees for this first time this year and NAU ranks 12th, 71st and 89th for graduating Native Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans, respectively.<\/p>\n
