US News and Word Report has relocated MIT’s graduate program to engineering at the top of the annual rankings released today. The Institute has earned the No. 1 spot since 1990 when the magazine first ranked such programs.
The MIT Sloan School of Management was highly placed in the rankings announced on April 8th. It ranks fifth in the best graduate business programs.
Within the individual engineering fields, MIT was first placed in six areas: aerospace/aerospace/astrofly engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering (bound with University of California, Berkeley), electrical/electronic/communication engineering (bound with Stanford University and Berkeley), materials engineering and mechanical engineering. He came in second place in nuclear engineering and third place in biomedical engineering/bioengineering.
In the ranking of individual MBA specialisations, MIT was first placed in four areas: information systems, production/operation, project management, and supply chain/logistics. He came in second in business analysis and third in entrepreneurship.
US News is based on graduate school rankings for engineering and business based on two types of data: a reputation survey of deans and other academic staff, and statistical indicators that measure school teachers, research and student quality. The less frequent ranking of graduate programs in the journal’s science, social sciences and humanities is based solely on review research. Among the areas of peer review ranked this year, MIT was first placed in Computer Science and also ranked first in PhD in Economics (Harvard University, Stanford, Berkeley, University of Chicago).
