Iowa State University’s civil engineering graduate program improved its ranking in the most recent U.S. News and World Report.
Based on a survey of 145 civil engineering graduate programs in the U.S., both private and public, Iowa State’s program ranks No. 31 (No. 20 among public civil engineering programs). Rank has improved by one from the 2013 national ranking.
Department chairs throughout the U.S. were asked to rate civil engineering programs based on quality and reputation. U.S. News and World Report, a multi-platform publisher of news and information, compiles and analyzes surveys every fall through spring and publishes rankings every March.
Civil engineering graduate program rankings include all of Iowa State’s civil engineering focus areas: civil materials engineering, construction engineering and management, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. Each area comprises award-winning faculty, nationally and privately funded research, and ample teaching-research opportunities. The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering invites all to explore its graduate programs and research at www.ccee.iastate.edu/academics/graduate. This information will guide prospective students and others in making appropriate and fulfilling decisions.
