Best Ivy League college for engineering?

Hey, I'm a junior interested in studying engineering at an Ivy League school. Which one is considered the best for engineering programs? Any insights would be super helpful!

a year ago

All Ivy League schools offer strong undergraduate engineering programs. However, some are more renowned for their offering in this field.

Princeton University often ranks as one of the top Ivy League engineering schools. Their School of Engineering and Applied Science is known for its strong faculty and rigorous programs.

Cornell University's College of Engineering also has an excellent reputation, particularly for its programs in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The college is known for its approach to hands-on, experiential learning, and it offers students a multitude of resources for research projects.

Harvard University’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has also been making strides recently. Though historically lesser-known for engineering than some other Ivies, the school has seen significant growth and investment in recent years and has developed a reputation for its cutting-edge research opportunities.

Lastly, Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science offers strong programs across various fields of engineering. Its location in New York City provides unique opportunities for internships and networking.

When deciding which school might be right for you, considerations beyond the program's ranking should be considered, such as the curriculum structure, faculty, resources available for students, research opportunities, alumni network, and the university's overall culture. Then, see how these align with your individual needs and preferred learning style. Ultimately, the best Ivy League engineering school would be the one where you feel you would learn, grow, and thrive the most.
