“This is the 16th consecutive year that Georgia Tech has ranked among the top ten public universities,” said Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson. “Georgia Tech continues to be recognized nationally for the faculty’s commitment to excellence in preparing our students to meet the challenges that face our society through innovation, research, and collaboration.”

Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering moved up to a fourth place ranking (rising from fifth place in 2014) for undergraduate engineering programs at institutions that award doctoral degrees. The college also continued with solid rankings in its engineering programs, with seven programs ranking in the top five.

Georgia Tech’s internship and cooperative education initiatives are also cited in the publication’s “Academic Programs to Look For.”

The Scheller College of Business ranked 29th for undergraduate business education.
