<p>i have seen on the site of san jose state university that their engineering school i s at 14th position by us news and the computer engineering is at no.5,i dun believe that DO YOU?????</p>
<p>Do you have a link? I can't seem to find that claim on the SJSU site.</p>
<p>The stated rankings are correct; however, SJSU doesn't fall under the category of "National Universities." Since SJSU doesn't offer PhDs, it's not ranked along side universities such as MIT, Stanford or UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Being ranked on the non-PhD list is like winning the Special Olympics.</p>
<p>Ouch, Im_blue, that's a bit harsh, don't you think? For example, I would argue that Harvey-Mudd is every bit as competitive in engineering at the undergrad level to any of the famous engineering schools, yet Mudd doesn't offer PhD's.</p>
<p>Well, there are a handful of good non-PhD engineering programs, like Harvey Mudd, Cooper Union, Rose Hulman, and Olin, but it drops off steeply after that. I don't think anyone would claim that SJSU has any sort of prestige in engineering, even though it may be ranked #5.</p>
