Hi all! I'm interested in studying engineering in college, and I was wondering what Arizona University's ranking is for their engineering program. Anyone have any insights?
Arizona State University (ASU) and the University of Arizona (UA) both have respectable engineering programs. I'm not sure which one you meant by "Arizona University," so I'll provide a brief overview of both.
ASU's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering ranks 46th in the nation for undergraduate engineering programs, according to the 2022 U.S. News & World Report rankings. ASU has a diverse range of engineering disciplines, and some individual programs have even higher rankings. For example, ASU's Industrial Engineering program ranks 21st in the nation.
The University of Arizona's College of Engineering ranks 63rd in the nation (also according to the 2022 U.S. News & World Report rankings). UA also offers a variety of focused engineering programs. Notably, their Aerospace Engineering program ranks 31st in the country.
Ultimately, rankings can be helpful to gauge a program's general reputation, but it's crucial to research each school's specific programs and engineering disciplines that align with your interests. Both ASU and UA have solid engineering programs, so you can't go wrong with either choice, but visiting the school websites and attending online information sessions can give you a better understanding of which school might be a better fit for you.
