The most notable change from last year was Tech\u0027s College of Management moving up 10 slots to number 32 in the business school rankings, an unusually strong surge for any program. The information systems program and the operations management program within Management were ranked 25th and 19th, respectively.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022We\u0027re gratified that the rankings are increasingly reflecting all we have to offer,\u0022 said College of Management Dean Terry Blum. \u0022Our highly selective MBA program is certainly one of the very best and this new rankings lends some credence to the direction of the program. It\u0027s a considerable jump in two years.\u0022 The College was ranked 51st in the 2003 rankings.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022That is an unusually strong showing for any program and I\u0027m very pleased for our business school,\u0022 said Tech president Wayne Clough.  \u0022We\u0027ve done a lot to invest in the College of Management and we\u0027ve known that those investments would pay dividends.  While rankings are not the sole measure of success, it\u0027s great to see such a strong, positive direction for the College. There is a lot of momentum there.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETech\u0027s graduate Engineering curriculum maintained its national stature, once again ranked among the top five in the nation by \u003Cem\u003EU.S. News and World Report\u003C\/em\u003E.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EEight of the 11 programs within the College of Engineering ranked among the top 10 in their respective disciplines, led by Industrial and Systems Engineering.  That program was ranked number one for the 15th straight year, an achievement almost unheard of in \u003Cem\u003EU.S. News \u003C\/em\u003Erankings.  \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the sciences, Tech\u0027s program in industrial\/organizational psychology was ranked 6th, and the School of Psychology was ranked 77th.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Quality and consistency over time are the two things you look for from these somewhat simplistic rankings,\u0022 said Dr. Clough. \u0022Fortunately, that is what were seeing at Georgia Tech. It is difficult to remain at the top in the nation, as we do in Engineering, and move up as noticeably as we have in both Management and Sciences. Those traits do not go unnoticed nationally and internationally. Our success is the direct outgrowth of recruiting and retaining the finest faculty and students possible and investing in the infrastructure that allows them to thrive. We intend to continue to do just that and if we do, the rankings will take care of themselves.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETech\u0027s College of Engineering retained its position in the elite top five, behind only MIT, Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley. The eight engineering programs ranked in the top 10 are: aerospace (4th), biomedical (3rd), civil (5th), computer (6th) electrical (6th), environmental (8th), industrial and systems (1st) and mechanical (7th).\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I\u0027m very proud of the work done by our faculty, graduate students and staff to achieve these rankings,\u0022 said Clough. \u0022We\u0027re consistently competing well against some of the finest universities in the world. It\u0027s important that Georgia Tech maintain its excellence while improve in areas for which we\u0027re less-well known. I\u0027m confident that those trends will continue and that our programs will gain prominence across the board.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Tech Shows Continued Engineering Excellence and Strong Movement in Management \u0026 Sciences"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"Georgia Tech\u0027s graduate programs are again ranked among the best in the nation in the most widely read college rankings.
