*Starting in 2025, U.S. News & World Report transitioned to naming grad rankings for the current year

**New undergraduate program in aerospace engineering launched Fall 2022

***Offered through the College of Chemistry

****Undergraduate programs in computer science are run through the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, which is shared between the College of Engineering and the College of Computing, Data Science and Society.

NR: Not ranked by U.S. News for 2024

Note: U.S. News last ranked undergraduate nuclear engineering programs in 2004, and engineering science programs in 2016.

US News 2025 Best Graduate Schools Methodology Updates: Engineering

For acceptance rate, the indicator rank remains ‘acceptance rate rank’. However, it now points to the field Acceptance rate (doctoral) instead of Acceptance rate (master’s and doctoral programs) to align with the methodology. This means some schools will have very large changes in their acceptance rate ranks despite similar data.
