For the 12th consecutive year, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has
been rated the top undergraduate engineering college in the nation
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.

In addition to the college’s overall ranking, Rose-Hulman’s individual
engineering departments in chemical engineering, civil engineering,
computer engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering
were ranked the number-one undergraduate programs in their class. The
rankings are based solely on a spring 2010 peer survey of deans and
senior faculty.
“This is a very lively collegial competition, a race to excellence,
between the nation’s very best schools,” said Rose-Hulman President Matt
Branam. “What a wonderful testament to our faculty, our staff, our
students, our alumni and especially our tradition at Rose-Hulman of
innovation in education.”
Branam pointed out some of the recent successes of the college,
including admission of its largest, most diverse, most globally
representative, and most academically talented class this fall. The
student Human Powered Vehicle Team achieved its third national title,
Rose-Hulman Ventures celebrated its 10th anniversary, and 93 percent of
the 2010 class has already been placed.
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 2011 version of “The Best 373 Colleges,” published by The
Princeton Review, and in the “2011 Fiske Guide to Colleges.”
