Hey there! I've heard a lot about UC Boulder's engineering program and I'm seriously considering applying. Anyone know how it's ranked or have experience with the program?
UC Boulder has a strong engineering program.
In U.S. News & World Report's 2024 rankings, UC Boulder's undergraduate engineering program ranks 23rd, and it's in the top 20 for several specialties, including aerospace engineering (8th), environmental engineering (9th), and civil engineering (12th). So you would be applying to highly ranked programs if you're interested in those fields.
Do check the faculty who specialize in the area you're interested in since they can contribute significantly to your learning experience. Research opportunities, student-teacher ratios, and access to modern lab facilities also contribute to a quality engineering education.
Do remember that rankings can be handy, but they're just one factor to consider where to apply. Fit is much more critical. Make sure the school's environment, size, location, and available resources align with what you want from your college education. Good luck with your decision!
