Drexel Engineering programs continue to be ranked among the best in the
nation by US News & World Report.
In its 2023-2024 Best Graduate Schools rankings, the publication ranked
Drexel #37 for materials engineering, #39 for environmental engineering,
#51 for civil engineering, #53 for mechanical engineering, #57 for computer
engineering, #58 for electrical engineering, and #60 for chemical
engineering. Each program was ranked, at minimum, in the top 40 percent of
its peers, with many landing in the top third.
The rankings continue a strong year for Drexel Engineering program
rankings. In January, U.S. News placed Drexel at #37 in its Best
Online Master’s in Engineering list. The college placed #8 in Best Online
Master’s in Engineering Management, #12 for Best Online Master’s in
Industrial Engineering, #13 for Best Online Master’s in Electrical
Engineering, and #28 for Best Online Engineering Programs for Veterans.
“Our programs are taught by researchers who are at the top of their field,
and the work that they and our graduate students do is shaping the future
of our industry and the world,” said Drexel Engineering Dean Sharon L.
Walker, PhD. “It is gratifying to see our good work reflected in these
rankings.”
In December, U.S. News released its Best Global Universities
rankings. In the subject rankings of that list, Drexel placed #29 worldwide
in materials science – good for #9 in the United States – and #39 for
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology – which translates to #7 in the U.S.
