The University of Texas at Austin’s Aerospace Engineering Graduate Program was ranked No. 8 by U.S. News & World Report, according to the 2013 graduate rankings released March 13.
In engineering, the rankings are based on entrance exam scores, student acceptance rates, faculty/student ratios, research expenditures, reputation among engineers in industry and academia, the number of Ph.D.s produced, and the percentage of faculty elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering.
More than 100 students are enrolled in the UT ASE graduate degree program, where they work side-by-side with world-renowned faculty. The departments’ research centers also provide opportunities to conduct discipline-specific as well as collaborative and interdisciplinary research.
The Cockrell School of Engineering retained its No. 8 ranking, with Top 10 rated programs in aerospace, chemical, civil and environmental engineering. The College of Pharmacy ranked No. 4 and the School of Social Work ranked No. 7. The College of Education also again ranked No. 1 among public institutions and No. 3 nationally.
