*Editor’s note: After releasing the best graduate program rankings in April 2024, U.S. News & World Report released an additional set of rankings for best graduate engineering programs in June 2024. The 鶹AV engineering programs rankings are listed below. 


The 鶹AV is home to more than two dozen graduate programs considered among the best in America, according to new rankings released by U.S. News & World Report. 鶹AV features 30 graduate programs ranked inside the top 100 among all public and private institutions, including 13 ranked in the top 50.

As U.S. News does not release new rankings for every program, every year, rankings denoted with an asterisk have been republished this year.

According to U.S. News, rankings are generated through “ranking indicators” derived from reputation and/or data reported by each institution.  For some programs, U.S. News evaluates key areas such as expert opinions in the field, opportunities for student engagement, resources for student support and career success, as well as faculty and student performance, in terms of existing credentials, research impact and metrics such as student job placement.

In addition to the graduate program rankings, in September 2023 U.S. News ranked 鶹AV as one of the nation’s top 50 public universities for the fifth consecutive year, and the university earned its highest ranking ever among all universities public or private.
