Csu's ranked by engineering program

College Search & Selection

<p>I am planning on applying to a csu, but cannot find a definitive ranking of them based on just their engineering programs. Can somebody give me the top 5 or so? I know Cal poly SLO leads with maybe cal poly pomona or san jose state following.
Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Here's from USNWR for undergrad institutions, all of engineering. I've included some California private colleges as well just to have a complete list.</p>

<ol>
<li>Cal Poly–San Luis Obispo * 4.0</li>
<li>Calif. State Poly. Univ.–Pomona * 3.3</li>
<li>San Jose State University (CA)* 3.3</li>
<li><p>Santa Clara University (CA) 3.2</p></li>
<li><p>Loyola Marymount University (CA) 3.1</p></li>
<li><p>California State U.–Los Angeles * 3.0</p></li>
<li><p>California State U.–Northridge * 2.9</p></li>

<p>Anybody know where San Diego State falls in this list? I was under the impression that the Engineering progam was fairly good, and applied there in case I didn't get accepted to the Cal Polys ... It must be just as good or better than Chico and Humboldt, no?</p>

<p>Here's the new ranking for engineering programs that don't offer a PhD.</p>

<h1>4 Cal Poly SLO 3.9902</h1>

<h1>12 Cal Poly Pomona 3.3537</h1>

<h1>12 San Jose State 3.3625</h1>

<h1>34 Cal State L.A. 2.9677</h1>

<h1>38 Cal State Long Beach 2.9434</h1>

<h1>38 Cal State Northridge 2.9275</h1>

<h1>51 Cal State Sacramento 2.8421</h1>

<h1>75 Cal State Chico 2.5789</h1>

<h1>75 Cal State Fullerton 2.6481</h1>

<h1>75 San Francisco State 2.5789</h1>

<p>San Diego State is ranked with engineering programs that offer a PhD.
It rates #86 on that list with a score of 2.551 (tied with schools such as BYU, LSU, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Oklahoma). </p>

<p>Personally, I would put it a notch below the Cal Polys + SJSU and comfortably ahead of Cal State L.A. </p>

<p>That being said, I would much rather attend SDSU, SJSU, CSULB or CSUN over Cal State LA. Choose for campus environment instead.</p>

<p>Great - thanks much for the info. That confirms my original impression about SDSU Engineering. I was admitted but haven't visited the campus yet. And I totally agree about finding the right college environment, and not following the prestige or ranking factor.</p>
