Of course we have those, but UCLA Samueli also more than holds its own in the traditional school ranking systems. In fact, we are consistently ranked in the top 10 among U.S. public engineering schools and is one of the top engineering programs in the world. In addition, the school’s master’s online program is ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report.
