Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering moved up one spot (to sixth) in U.S. News & World Report’s latest ranking of the nation’s top undergraduate chemical engineering programs.

The College of Engineering was ranked fifth in the nation (third among public universities) in this year’s edition of America’s Best Colleges, published on September 9, 2015.

Each of the College of Engineering’s 10 undergraduate degree programs was ranked seventh or higher in their respective fields.

“We are proud to once again be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the elite engineering institutions in the United States," says Gary S. May, dean and Southern Company Chair in the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech.

"The strength of our college is the depth and breadth of our programs, and it is gratifying to see so many of our individual schools ranked among the best in their fields,” he adds. “With 10 highly ranked programs housed within one college we are in a unique position to offer an unparalleled interdisciplinary educational experience to the next generation of the world's engineers.”

Georgia Tech ranked seventh among public universities and 36th among all national universities.
