<p>I was wondering what the undergraduate rankings for materials engineering programs are according to USNWR? Anyone who is subscribed to them, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could post the rankings. Thank you :)</p>
<p>From another CC thread from 2011:
Materials undergrad per US News:</p>
<p>Massachusetts Institute of Technology
University of California–Berkeley
University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor
Georgia Institute of Technology
Stanford University
Cornell University
University of Florida
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania State University–University Park
University of California–Santa Barbara
Purdue University–West Lafayette
California Institute of Technology
Ohio State University–Columbus</p>
<p>Keep in mind that list is utter crap since I know at least one (and I’m pretty sure of a second) of those schools don’t even offer materials as an undergraduate degree!</p>
<p>Hahah yeah UCSB doesn’t offer materials engineering for undergrad, I think this is a graduate ranking</p>
<p>Nope, that’s the undergraduate list. This is the list for graduate rankings</p>
<p>[Best</a> Material Engineering Programs | Top Engineering Schools | US News Best Graduate Schools](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/material-engineering-rankings]Best”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/material-engineering-rankings)</p>
<p>It looks like UCSB offers undergraduate materials courses, but not a BS. These rankings are also sometimes based off of the experience you can gain rather than the exact degree. You might major in ChE at UCSB, but you would have opportunities to research in some of the best materials labs.</p>
<p>Caltech offers one Materials Science undergrad course. You can actually get a specialization in the field without taking a single course in the department. If you want to learn about materials science in your classes, I’d say just about any ABET accredited school would fit the bill better than Caltech.</p>
