Milwaukee School of Engineering was again among U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges and Universities in the country. MSOE was ranked 9th on the Best Undergraduate Colleges in the Midwest list among colleges that focus on undergraduate education.
MSOE was ranked 10th in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs category among engineering schools whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's, moving up one place on the list compared to the previous year.
About the rankings:
The report is based on a survey of deans and senior faculty at colleges and universities across the country. MSOE officials noted that while the survey results are very gratifying, results should not be overemphasized by students or their families during the college selection process. Choosing a college is an individual decision that should be made by students and families based on the student's individual needs. Students come to MSOE because of its focus on laboratory experience and career practice, expert faculty dedicated to student learning, its small college feeling within a vibrant downtown neighborhood, 98 percent placement rate for graduates and the success of its alumni.
