Auburn University’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering was again recognized as a national leader in higher education, ranking among the nation’s top public institutions in U.S. News and World Report’s 2025 Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs.
The online publication, which ranks undergraduate programs nationwide each fall, ranked Auburn Engineering No. 30 among public institutions for a second consecutive year.
“This ranking reflects the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering’s relentless pursuit of excellence as a leader in engineering education,” said Mario Eden, dean of engineering. “We take pride in providing the best student-centered experience in America, supported by a world-class faculty dedicated to fostering innovation and academic achievement. We will continue to strive for greatness and prepare the next generation of engineers to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges.”
Auburn Engineering’s undergraduate programs also ranked fourth among the 13 public institutions in the Southeastern Conference and — again — No. 1 in the state. The college produces one-third of the state of Alabama’s engineering graduates annually and boasts several prominent alumni, including four astronauts and Tim Cook, CEO of Apple.
Also, the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering’s Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering ranked No. 40 among undergraduate computer science programs at public institutions.
Diversity within Auburn’s eight engineering departments — aerospace; biosystems; chemical; civil and environmental; computer science and software; electrical and computer; industrial and systems; and mechanical — provide students with 13 undergraduate degree opportunities, in addition to a host of graduate programs.
To meet the ever-evolving technology needs of today’s students, the college announced the creation of an artificial intelligence undergraduate certificate program housed within the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, beginning in the fall semester.
Auburn Engineering is also ranked No. 31 among public engineering graduate programs by U.S. News and is the No. 19 engineering graduate online program among all institutions, public and private, nationwide.
