- Educational Psychology, No. 14
- Secondary Teacher Education, No. 14 (tie)

Schwab said in a statement. “We continue to have immense pride in our Neag School faculty scholars and our exceptional student body. It is their talent and ongoing hard work from year to year that helps to earn the Neag School this level of distinction.”
