Bucknell gets high marks in Engineering, Innovation from U.S. News & World Report
Bucknell achieved one of its highest rankings on the “Best Undergraduate Engineering — Non-Doctorate” list, ranking fifth, in the new U.S. News & World Report 2025 Best Colleges rankings, published Tuesday, Sept. 24. Bucknell also ranked sixth among “Most Innovative Schools — National Liberal Arts Colleges.”
“I came to Bucknell because of it’s stellar engineering college and the priority it places on allowing students the opportunity to apply their education,” said Morgan Powell ’26, Civil Engineering. “For example, sustainability is a huge interest of mine, but I don’t feel like it’s a hobby anymore because I’ve been able to do real work researching and engaging with the community. Bucknell recognizes that sustainable development is a requirement for civil and structural engineering because it’s guaranteed to be intertwined with the work we do after graduating. The chance to move beyond theory now is preparing me to make a more significant impact in the future.”
In addition to its overall Engineering ranking, Bucknell was tied for fourth in Mechanical Engineering, fifth in Civil Engineering, tied for fifth in Electrical/Electronic/Communications Engineering and sixth in Computer Engineering.
