U.S. News and World Report university rankings for 2010 have been released.
As was the case last year, West Point has again been ranked as the #1 Public
Liberal Arts College, and tied for #14 overall Liberal Arts College, in the
nation.
In the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs category, West Point was
ranked #4 overall, with our Civil Engineering Program #2, Mechanical #8, and
Electrical #9.
Using last year's reported data, High School counselors also ranked Liberal
Arts schools, with West Point coming in #3 in "best education for students."
This is from the August 20, 2009 issue of U.S. News and World Report,
currently available on newsstands.
