Abstract About 90 agricultural economists in eight fields of specialization were surveyed to identify the top Ph.D. and M.S. programs in the United States, as well as top departments in particular fields. The University of California at Berkeley and Davis (UC‐Berkeley and UC‐Davis, respectively), and Minnesota were considered best for Ph.D. programs. Minnesota and Montana State were the top‐ranked M.S. programs. Historical rankings and current output in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics ( AJAE ) were identified as the best predictors of current rankings for Ph.D. programs.
