Berkeley top ranked in world for engineering and IT
UC Berkeley is the No. 1 engineering and information technology
university in the world, ahead of No. 2 MIT and No. 3 Stanford,
according to rankings published last month by the Times Higher
Education Supplement (THES).
The higher education weekly published by The Times of
London also named Berkeley No. 4 on its list of the top 100 science
universities. The ranking followed THES’s announcement
that Berkeley finished second in its first-ever list of the top
200 universities in the world, behind only Harvard, based on a
survey of 1,300 international academic leaders.
Berkeley also held onto its spot as the top-ranking U.S. public
university according to U.S. News & World Report.
Among all 248 U.S. universities—both public (162) and private
(86)—that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral
degrees, Berkeley was ranked 21st. In a separate specialty listing,
Berkeley’s engineering programs ranked third among undergraduate
programs at schools whose highest degree is a doctorate, and eight
of its engineering programs were ranked fifth or higher.
