[Che-student-staff-list] Fwd: US News & World Report Undergrad Rankings

[Varma, Arvind]

Dear Colleagues,

It is wonderful to see that our peers at other institutions have evaluated our undergraduate program higher than last year - we are now one step away from the top-10.  Thank you for your dedication to educating our students, to ensure they have satisfying and productive careers - working together, let's continue to improve our program; improved relative standing in such evaluations will follow on their own.

I'll forward the list of the top ChE programs as soon as I can.

With best wishes,

Arvind

Subject: US News & World Report Undergrad Rankings

Colleagues –

US News & World Report has released its national rankings of undergraduate programs for this year. The undergrad rankings are computed from the responses to a survey sent to deans and selected senior faculty, who rated programs on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished).

In this year’s rankings, Purdue is #9 among engineering programs at doctoral-granting universities. We ranked #10 last year, tied with UT-Austin.

The discipline rankings are:

*Nuclear engineering programs are not ranked by USN&WR every year and were not ranked this year or last year.

Congratulations to ABE for their fourth consecutive #1 ranking; to ABE, IE, CE, and AAE for their top 5 rankings; to IE, CE, AAE, ChE, and MSE for moving up in the rankings; and to MSE for their pretty spectacular 5-point gain. Overall, the net movement, summed across the College and discipline rankings, was an improvement of 7 points.

As you know, Purdue Engineering is on the move. Thank you for your continued commitment to creating inspired educational experiences for our undergraduates; for your creativity, effort, and dedication to growing and transforming the College of Engineering; and for your commitment to excellence in all you do.

Best,
leah
