Ranking improves
RPI was recently ranked 43rd overall in a U.S. News & World Report ranking of top U.S. universities, up from 46th last year. In the category of best values among universities, RPI was ranked 27th. The school of engineering in particular was ranked 18th. Additionally, materials, electrical, biomedical, mechanical, and computer systems engineering were also ranked within the top 20 nationally.
The rise in ranking was attributed by the Institute to a growing faculty which has reduced the student-teacher ratio, new facilities such as the Biotechnology Center and the upcoming EMPAC that are seen as widening the gamut of students on campus.
The Institute also identified the increase in research awards from $37 million to $90 million, as well as the rising academic demographic of incoming freshmen as reasons for the improved ranking.
