The UF Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) and the UF Nuclear Engineering Program (NE), housed within the department, continue their stay among the best-ranked graduate school programs at public universities in the U.S. 

The 2024 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings among U.S. public universities place the MSE graduate program at No. 10, extending its time in the Top 10 to 26 consecutive years, and the NE graduate program at No. 14. 

“Our graduate program rankings are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, faculty and staff,” said Michele Manuel, Ph.D., MSE chair. “They reflect the high-quality education, research and opportunities we provide and motivate us to continue striving for excellence in everything we do here.”

U.S. News & World Report determines the top graduate schools through a combination of objective measures, including placement success, student selectivity and an industry-wide assessment of reputation.
