Johns Hopkins Engineering’s online graduate degree programs continue to rank among the nation’s leading programs, according to U.S. News & World Report‘s Best Online Master’s in Engineering Programs and Best Online Master’s in Information Technology Programs.
U.S. News & World Report evaluated four engineering specialties, with EP programs achieving high rankings. Mechanical engineering is No. 3 (up four spots and tied with Pennsylvania State University, World Campus, and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign).
The Whiting School of Engineering’s Engineering for Professionals (EP) division maintained its No. 1 ranking in two categories:
- Engineering management (tied with Purdue University)
- Computer information technology, which included data from EP’s computer science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, information systems engineering, and data science programs.
EP’s graduate information technology programs for veterans also earned the No. 1 spot this year.
EP’s online degrees, which serve over 6,000 students worldwide with online and part-time programming, maintained their No. 6 overall graduate engineering ranking—tied with Texas A&M University, College Station. The same programs also occupied the No. 6 spot in the rankings of overall graduate engineering programs for veterans.
The Whiting School of Engineering offers 23 online master’s programs, which include the programs listed above as well as applied and computational mathematics, applied biomedical engineering, applied physics, climate, energy, and environmental sustainability, environmental engineering, science and management, financial mathematics, healthcare systems engineering, materials science and engineering, robotics and autonomous systems, and space systems engineering.
U.S. News ranks the nation’s best online graduate programs in seven disciplines, as well as the best online bachelor’s degree programs. Rankings are determined by five weighted criteria: student engagement, faculty credentials and training, student services and technology, peer reputation, and admissions selectivity.
