US News & World Report Rankings
The UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering rose again in the US News graduate schools rankings. We are now ranked 6th among public engineering schools, and 11th overall. We are up one slot in both categories, compared to last year. UCSD’s research expenditures for FY18 are $188M, which is up 25% from four years ago. This year, we are #3 among public engineering schools for research expenditures per faculty member.
