Purdue Engineering undergraduate programs consistently rank high among their national peers. In the U.S. News & World Report survey “Best Colleges 2013,” released in September 2012, Purdue’s College of Engineering tied with Princeton University and the University of Texas at Austin for 10^th nationally among doctoral-granting universities. Undergraduate program rankings are based on ratings by deans and senior faculty in those disciplines at peer institutions.

*Nuclear engineering programs are not ranked by USN&WR every year and were not ranked this year. 2005 is the most recent year in which the Nuclear engineering specialty was ranked by USN&WR.
