Engineering grad program rankings

The U.S. News surveyed 214 graduate engineering programs and ranked 199 schools that provided the needed data in either fall 2018 or early 2019. The criteria included 10 indicators such as recruiter assessment scores, acceptance rates, student-faculty ratios, research activities and the percentage of instructors in the National Academy of Engineering. The undergraduate engineering program rankings were based solely on peer assessment surveys. These programs are split into two groups: Schools whose highest engineering degree offered is a doctorate and schools whose highest engineering degree offered is a bachelor's or master's. The graduate school rankings saw MIT-Boston No. 1. The other 198 schools include the following Gulf Coast state universities’ programs: Texas A&M (15); Rice-Houston (27); Florida (45); Auburn and Houston (69); Mississippi State (95); LSU and Tulane (106); Ala.-Huntsville (118); Alabama (124); Ala.-Birmingham (134); La.-Lafayette, Mississippi and USM (156).
