This year’s rankings from U.S. News & World Report for the best universities for pursuing a graduate degree in engineering were released today (Tuesday, June 18), and Missouri S&T has again been listed as one of the nation’s top institutions — and the top public university in Missouri.
“Missouri S&T’s engineering programs remain focused on improving the world and solving societal challenges through our research and innovation,” says Dr. David Borrok, vice provost and dean of S&T’s College of Engineering and Computing. “Our strengths in these areas are reflected in our graduate rankings and in the notoriety of our world-class faculty members.”
The university ranks 53rd nationally among public universities for graduate engineering programs and 83rd when considering both public and private institutions.
Four of S&T’s programs climbed in the overall national rankings when compared to last year, including:
- Aerospace engineering, which rose to No. 41 from No. 50 last year.
- Civil engineering, which rose to No. 42 from No. 51 last year.
- Computer engineering, which rose to No. 65 from No. 79 last year.
- Electrical engineering, which rose to No. 82 from No. 85 last year.
Programs maintaining the same rankings include:
- Petroleum engineering, which remained No. 14.
- Nuclear engineering, which remained No. 18.
- Materials science and engineering, which remained No. 57.
Other S&T engineering programs with national rankings are environmental engineering (52), systems engineering (62), mechanical engineering (63) and chemical engineering (102).
Missouri S&T has the top ranking among public institutions in the state in each of these programs.

Good news, given the known strength S&T has for our undergraduate programs.
I would think we could add that the value increases given the very reasonable tuition costs and the superb department faculty advisors in some very important and specialized area of research.
True, also, I would say the interaction the school has with our Academies also enhances the students experiences related to what the industry is searching for: Read our Leadership expertise.
