US News & World Report has just released its 2010 rankings of
America’s Best Graduate Schools, and the news is good for the College
of Engineering at UC Santa Barbara. The College as a whole moved up
from 19th in the country to 18th (tied with Princeton and Harvard),
and is the 12th-ranked public graduate engineering school. The
College of Engineering consists of five departments: Computer Science,
Materials, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering
and Mechanical Engineering. Over the last ten years, UCSB’s College
of Engineering has climbed steadily in the US News & World Report
rankings, moving up an average of two places every three years.
These rankings include over 1,500 graduate school programs
nationwide, and are the most comprehensive listing of its kind.
