<p>I was recently accepted to the scholars program. I applied as undecided. My question has to do with the engineering program. Is it now accreditted? And is it ranked in any reports. I like the school a lot but I also was accepted to Purdue and I know they have a great engineering program. Is Miami's program strong enough to hel me get into a top grad school (possible med. school or business school)</p>

<p>For accreditation info go to ABET:</p>

<p>For rankings, you have to go to US News and pay $15 to look them up. On the list of "Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's" Miami ranks 54th. Most of the "big name" engineering schools, however, are not on this list, because they have graduate programs.</p>
<p>My understanding is that Miami is not a well known engineering school and has limited engineering offerings. (Paper Science Engineering is what they are known for.)</p>

Here is what I know, it may or may not be of a benefit to your question:
Grad school admits for Miami grads is high (for how high, I am pretty sure it is on their website). Numerous fellow grads of mine went to both Med School & Grad business school(as well as Law School) and they ALL got into their first choices of grad school(the people I know, not necessarily the others I don't). </p>
<p>My personal experience with Miami is that they are completely dedicated to their graduates achieving their post-grad goals whether it be a job or more education/grad school, almost obsessed with it; and they are very well-connected to the post-graduate world. </p>
<p>Your best bet, if you have an idea of which grad school you want to attend is to contact MU and ask them how many of their students have gone on to that/those grad schools. They may also have statistics on what their grads score on things like the MCATs, LSAT, etc... Now that you are accepted, ask THEM to tell you why they are the best fit for your future goals. I believe you will be pleased with their response and perhaps it will make your decision easier.</p>
<p>Best wishes, GO MIAMI!!!</p>
<p>PS:
The following link takes you to the Majors page of the website. You can click there and see all the different engineering majors MU offers:

<p>thanks, I will check that out. My decisions going to be much tougher now that I got into UofM.</p>
<p>I was looking at that site and I noticed a "3-2" program for engineering students. That looks very interesting. Having over a 3.0 after three years at Miami for engineering, you can automatically be accepted to Columbia, Washington St. Louis, or Case Western and earn both a bachelor's of science from Miami and an engineering degree from one of the other schools.</p>
<p>Oh THAT is cool. Miami has a lot of things like that, sometimes one has to dig. They listen very carefully to their alumni and if they need something or don't are pretty quick to adapt. I'll be anxious to hear what you decide-you know my bias :)</p>
