Cal Poly Among Best in the West
Posted on: Friday, 19 August 2005, 21:00 CDT
Aug. 19--Cal Poly has been named among the best universities in the West by a national magazine for the 13th consecutive year.
The university is ranked fifth overall in the West for the second year in a row in U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges guidebook. Cal Poly's engineering program was named top in the country, tied with two others.
The rankings are among public and private campuses that grant primarily undergraduate and master's degrees with few, if any, doctoral programs. The guidebook ranks universities that grant doctoral degrees, such as the University of California's campuses, in a separate list.
President Warren J. Baker said in a statement issued by Cal Poly's Public Affairs office that the honor reflects the quality of the university's faculty, staff and students.
"It also demonstrates how the support of our alumni, donors and industry partners contributes to the excellence of our programs," Baker said.
Cal Poly's College of Engineering tied with the U.S. Military and U.S. Naval academies as the top public undergraduate engineering program in the nation.
In addition, the university's computer, electrical, mechanical, and industrial/manufacturing engineering were each ranked as the top program at a public university. The civil engineering program was ranked No. 2.
The magazine's 2006 guidebook will be on newsstands Monday but is available on the Web today at www.usnews.com.
