About Berkeley Engineering
Innovation and impact
Academic programs, graduate and undergraduate, ranked in the top 5 by U.S. News & World Report
There are many reasons why Berkeley Engineering is ranked among the top three engineering schools in the world: Because we offer a dynamic, interdisciplinary, hands-on education. Because we challenge conventional thinking and value creativity and imagination. And because our students and faculty are driven by social commitment and want to change the world. In the classroom, the research lab or the design studio, our community is both welcoming and tightly knit. Whether they’re pursuing groundbreaking research or teaching students, our faculty members are engaged and accessible. We’re a village of entrepreneurs and collaborators within the big city of a renowned public university. At Berkeley Engineering, we’re making a world of difference.
