Hi all, been stressing about choosing my major and university. I'm interested in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and I've heard good things about UIUC. Does anyone know how UIUC's ECE program ranks? Thanks in advance.
Hello! As of recent data, the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is highly regarded. The program consistently ranks among the top in the U.S.
In general, ranking varies depending on the specific source. While keeping in mind that rankings can change slightly year over year due to a variety of factors, it's safe to say that UIUC's ECE program is usually positioned within the top 10 in national rankings, often landing in the top 5.
Just remember that rankings should be a part of your decision making, but not everything. Visit the campus virtually or in person, if possible, look at the specific curriculum and electives offered, and consider other factors such as class size, faculty interaction, available research opportunities, and the student community. These can give you a better understanding of whether UIUC's ECE program fits your personal and academic needs better than other programs.
