Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical Engineering has cracked the top 10 in the newest U.S. News & World Report rankings of undergraduate programs. Computer Engineering (CmpE) is 10th, and Electrical Engineering (EE) is 9th in the annual list, which was released today (September 12). That’s up from 11 for both programs in the previous rankings.
Purdue’s College of Engineering undergraduate program is No. 9 nationally in the rankings, up one from 10th last year. Six of the College of Engineering’s undergraduate programs are in the top 10 of their areas, and 10 departmental programs made the top-15 rankings in the country.
U.S. News uses multiple measures to determine the academic quality of each program. They fall into nine broad areas: graduation and retention, graduation rate performance, graduate indebtedness, social mobility, faculty resources, expert opinion, financial resources, student excellence, and alumni giving.
