Berkeley and College again tops in rankings
UC Berkeley was again ranked the top U.S. public university and tied for 21st place overall in U.S. News and World Report’s annual undergraduate college rankings, published in August. Berkeley Engineering’s undergraduate program was number two, tied with Stanford's and following MIT's. In graduate rankings published separately last April, U.S. News again placed Berkeley Engineering third, following MIT and Stanford.
The Washington Monthly, a D.C.-based progressive magazine, started its own national university rankings in 2005 and this year placed UC Berkeley second in the nation. Its unique criteria emphasize research, community service and social mobility. “By our yardstick,” the Monthly says, “UC Berkeley is about the best thing for America we can find.”
U.S. News rankings by undergraduate program placed Berkeley second in chemical, civil, materials science and mechanical; third in electrical; fourth in computer and nuclear; and fifth in industrial. Berkeley’s graduate programs are all ranked in the top 10—with civil and computer science placing first—except for biomedical, which was ranked 14th.
