Note: The Nuclear undergraduate discipline is not ranked by USNWR, but is part of their graduate rankings.
Purdue Engineering undergraduate programs consistently rank high among their national peers. In the U.S. News & World Report survey “Best Colleges 2020,” released in September 2019, Purdue’s College of Engineering ranked 9th nationally among doctoral-granting universities. Undergraduate program rankings are based on ratings by deans and senior faculty in those disciplines at peer institutions.
