The Georgia Institute of Technology has maintained its eighth place ranking as one of the world's top universities in engineering and information technology.
The ranking was announced as part of the U.S. News & World Report's World's Best Colleges and Universities released on June 18, 2009. The rankings are based on data from the THE-QS World University Rankings that were produced in association with QS Quacquarelli Symonds, one of the world's leading networks for careers and education.
Last August, Georgia Tech was rated seventh nationally among public universities for undergraduates in the U.S. News & World Report rankings. For the past decade, Georgia Tech has been among the top ten public universities for undergraduates. In addition, the College of Engineering was ranked No. 4 nationwide for the fifth consecutive year in the publication's annual list of the best American graduate school programs.
