Texas A&M Engineering’s graduate program ranked 14th overall (8th among public institutions) in the latest U.S. News & World Report survey, “America’s Best Graduate Schools 2010.”

Individual programs ranked were: Aerospace Engineering, 13 (8 public); Biomedical Engineering, 30 (14); Chemical Engineering, 27 (18); Civil Engineering, 13 (8); Computer Engineering, 20 (13); Electrical Engineering, 20 (12); Industrial Engineering, 8 (6); Mechanical Engineering, 17 (10); Nuclear Engineering, 3 (2); Agricultural Engineering 3 (2) and Petroleum Engineering, last ranked in 2008, was second nationally and second among public institutions.

The Look College was contacted earlier this week by Robert Morse, director of data research for U.S. News & World Report, indicating that the Biological and Agricultural Engineering rankings category erroneously listed “Texas Tech University” instead of “Texas A&M University” as the third highest-ranked program. The error was not detected until after the publication had been printed, so the May 2009 issue of U.S.News & World Report and newsstand guidebook will incorrectly report the third-ranked program as Texas Tech, not Texas A&M. The online version of rankings correctly identify Texas A&M in the Biological and Agricultral Engineering category on the U.S. News & World Report Web site.
