Rose-Hulman
Ranks Number One for 11th Consecutive Year in U.S. News & World
Report College Guide
|

For the 11th consecutive year, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has
been ranked the number one college or university that offers the
bachelor's or master's degree as its top degree in engineering. The
ranking is based on a national survey of deans and senior faculty
conducted by U.S. News & World Report for its annual college guidebook.
Individual Rose-Hulman engineering departments once again received
number-one rankings as well. Those programs are chemical, civil,
computer, electrical and mechanical.
Rose-Hulman tied this year for the top spot with Harvey Mudd College of
Claremont, Calif.
“This ranking affirms the quality of our faculty, staff, students and
alumni,” said Rose-Hulman President Matt Branam. “While we are pleased
with the ranking and the recognition from our peers, this ranking is not
our guide to achieving our mission of educating the engineering,
mathematics and science leaders of the future. We continue our
commitment to being a great school. Our goal remains to provide the best
education that we can design. We owe it to our students and their
families who have put their trust in Rose-Hulman.”
In this year's U.S. News ranking, Rose-Hulman received a 4.5 peer
assessment score on a scale of one to five. Harvey Mudd also received a
4.5, Cooper Union in New York a 4.3, the United States Military Academy
4.1, and the United States Naval Academy 4.0.
The overall and specialty rankings are based solely on a spring 2009
peer survey of deans and senior faculty.
The U.S. News & World Report ranking is just one of the recent accolades
Rose-Hulman has achieved in guides highlighting select colleges. Rose-Hulman
also is in the 2010 version of “The Best 371 Colleges,” published by The
Princeton Review, and in the “2010 Fiske Guide to Colleges.”
Branam noted that students should look at a variety of factors when
selecting a college, not just the U.S. News & World Report ranking.
“This ranking is just one indicator of what makes a college great,”
Branam said. “Students should look at the complete package to make sure
a college fits their needs and aspirations.”
