USNA ranks among best academically
By Judy Campbell

Naval Academy Public AffairsThe Naval Academy has been ranked the No. 3 Best Undergraduate Engineering program in U.S. News & World Report’s ‘‘America’s Best Colleges.”

The Naval Academy was also ranked No. 4 Best Aerospace Engineering Program; No. 6 Best Electrical Engineering Program; and No. 9 Best Mechanical Engineering Program. U.S. News & World Report bases their rankings upon the judgments of deans and senior faculty familiar with the specific programs.

‘‘We are pleased that U.S. News and World Report has confirmed the Naval Academy’s reputation as an excellent engineering school,” said Academic Dean and Provost William C. Miller. ‘‘However, the U.S. Naval Academy is first and foremost a leadership school, preparing young men and women for positions of responsibility in the Navy and Marine Corps.

‘‘Midshipmen acquire an excellent foundation in math, science and engineering along the way, but every graduate must be prepared to take his or her place among the future leaders of the sea services.”
