VT with some top ten programs!
Via:
The industrial engineering graduate program in the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering is ranked eighth among peer programs nationally. The civil engineering program in the Via Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is ranked 10th. These two specialties are typically the highest ranked among Virginia Tech’s engineering graduate programs.
Overall, the College of Engineering’s graduate program rose from a ranking of 31st last year to 30th in the current survey. Once again, the Virginia Tech engineering school achieved a rating of 18th among those at public universities. Programs at 187 private and public engineering schools that award Ph.D.s were included in this year’s survey.
Yay for Virginia public education! Top ten is the goal I think?
isn’t it wierd how va public universities pwn everywhere else? is that just cuz we live here and we are biased or what? seems like they are overly represented on top lists everywhere.

And what about law schools? UR and W&M? I wonder where they place in the national rankings? VCU graduate sculpture is #3 in the nation too.

Virginia has really good schools. I don’t think our public university system is as good as that of California or Texas, but for the size of our state, we’re pretty damn good.
UVa law school is top ten, W&M is top 25 iirc, but W&L and U of R law school aren’t that highly ranked. George Mason law school is actually the newest top 25 law school in the country.
I am glad we are all getting along and loving virginia education together btw.
