I'm interested in pursuing an engineering degree and I'm looking at the University of Texas. Does anyone know how their engineering program ranks nationally or even globally? Would love to hear from someone familiar with the program!
The University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering is consistently ranked among the top engineering schools in the United States, and holds a strong position globally as well. As of the most recent rankings, the undergraduate engineering program ranks #11 nationally according to U.S. News & World Report. For a global perspective, QS World University Rankings places the University of Texas at Austin's engineering program at #37 globally in 2024.
These rankings take into account factors such as faculty reputation, research output, and the quality of the curriculum among other things. Of course, rankings aren't everything when choosing a school, and it's equally important to consider things like the particular major you're interested in, the courses available, faculty, facilities, and a school's overall culture fit. It's always a good idea to research the specific department or program you're considering, and where possible, talk with current students or alumni.
