Hey all, I'm a rising senior and I'm planning on majoring in electrical engineering. I've been stressing out looking for schools. Can someone tell me where I can find the US News rankings for electrical engineering programs, or maybe share the top schools on this list? Thanks so much!
Hey! I completely understand how stressful the process of searching for schools can be, especially when it comes to finding the right program. US News does rank undergraduate engineering programs, and their rankings can be found on their website; however, you'll need a subscription to access the full list. That said, I can provide some of the top schools for electrical engineering based on their rankings and general reputation:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
2. Stanford University
3. University of California--Berkeley
4. California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
5. University of Illinois--Urbana-Champaign
6. University of Michigan--Ann Arbor
7. University of California--San Diego
8. University of Texas--Austin
9. University of California--Los Angeles (UCLA)
10. Carnegie Mellon University
Keep in mind that rankings alone shouldn't define where you apply, as the best fit for you will also depend on factors like location, campus culture, available resources, and financial aid. Make sure to research each school extensively and consider visiting campuses if possible to find the best fit for your needs and preferences. Good luck with your college search!
