State schools are some of the top schools... Georgia Tech, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, Viriginia, Michigan, etc. In graduate studies, the state schools are even more well represented since they have nice, big research budgets.

More than half the schools ranked in the top 50 graduate engineering programs are public schools:

University of California ? Berkeley
University of Illinois ? Urbana-Champaign
Georgia Institute of Technology
Purdue University ? West Lafayette (IN)
University of Michigan ? Ann Arbor
University of Texas ? Austin
University of California ? San Diego
Texas A&M University ? College Station
University of Wisconsin ? Madison
University of California ? Los Angeles
University of Maryland ? College Park
Penn State University ? University Park
University of California ? Santa Barbara
University of Washington
University of Florida
University of Minnesota ? Twin Cities
Ohio State University
Virginia Tech
North Carolina State University
University of Colorado ? Boulder
University of California ? Davis
Rutgers State University ? New Brunswick
University of California ? Irvine
University of Virginia
Iowa State University
University of Arizona
University of Delaware
Arizona State University

Auburn University should be on that list as well. I believe they are in the top 25 in 2004.

It's hilarious that you put down NYU in the middle of 'Ivy League' and Stanford.

Many state schools are solid to excellent schools. Schools such as UC-Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Michigan, GATech, UVA, UIUC, etc. are all solid to great. Many other state schools are definitely solid schools - such as the above mentioned Auburn and others.

Auburn is ranked 78th. It's a solid school. I think if we look at the entire list of ranked engineering graduate schools, probably around 66%-75% are big, public schools.

 

[generaltso88]

exactly, those schools you mentioned are great, but ppl shouldn't be goin to college if they just want to get a degree in something that doesn't require it in the first place. It seems that a lot colleges just want to make money off of those who don't have to go. I mean, if you don't have a college degree now, how easy is it to get a job? I'm not dissing big schools.

 

[GigaCluster]

CanOWorms, where's that list? I want to find my school on it.

I was accepted to Bentley in the States before I got accepted to Queen's.

Bentley? I've never even heard of that before... are you trying to imply it's a top, prestigious school? The average SAT score there is 1185...

It's a small business school 10 mins outside of Boston.

In Graduate Engineering(which I what I thought you were alluding to) they are ranked 22nd. Linkie The school overall was 44 among Public Unis, but I do believe they slipped.

This thread is ridiculous. Retard gets turned down by top-choice college and can't figure out why.

No, you're the retard for not reading the thread, it is one of the EASIEST Universities to get into.

I guess that's why thousands and thousands of foreign students flock to American Universities to pursue high-end degrees, right?

It's called CA-NA-DA as well. McGill, UofT, UBC all take in a LOT of int'l students - because don't forget not everyone can afford to pay the $40K tuitions at Harvard.

I go to Purdue, which has the highest foreign student population of any US University. We also have one of the nations top rated engineering programs. I don't want to hear sh!t about American universities having "too low standards"

Yeah, fvck that. US colleges kick ass. I mean, schools like Purdue (almost went there), U of I, Rice, etc. No other country has a comparable number of great universities as the states. And try telling people Rice has low standards . .

Your link says that they are ranked 22nd in one specific program. I believe that the 78 ranking is overall engineering graduate ranking containing both private and public schools offering a PhD.

I'm refering to the entire engineering graduate program (US News). You're referencing only the Industrial and Systems Engineering program, not the overall engineering program.

It's US News & World Report. You need to subscribe to gain access to the info. I only have access to the graduate school rankings. What's your school? Tell me what you're looking for and I'll see if I can get it for you. There are only about 80 ranked engineering schools though so it may not even be listed.

[RaynorWolfcastle]

Jesus H. Christ, does every single education thread always have to end up with a discussion of US schools vs Canadian schools. Make your own thread next time you want to discuss this (preferably in P&N), its been done approximately 943,327 times before. :|

Why can't we just be content to make fun of the OP and his pitiful academic performances (kidding)

can you tell me what the Rutgers MBA program is ranked at? thanks in advance
