VCU College of Engineering News

The ongoing climb reflects faculty dedication and student-focused commitment, Provost Fotis Sotiropoulos says.

The nuclear engineering graduate program at Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) College of Engineering climbed three ranks to secure the 18th spot in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report.

For engineers looking to cultivate their leadership skills, increase earning potential and advance their careers, a master’s in engineering management can be that next step.

The new degree will provide a multidisciplinary approach to computer science, broadening the scope of computing education across the university. 

This comes just as the department added two new master’s concentrations in engineering management and aerospace engineering, both which can be completed online.

The College of Engineering launches new master’s concentrations in aerospace engineering, engineering management, environmental and sustainable engineering, rehabilitation engineering, systems engineering, and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

The College of Engineering launches new minors in artificial intelligence, aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering, software engineering, cybersecurity and data science.

Additionally, VCU’s overall ranking in U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Best Colleges jumped 23 points over last year.

Graduate programs from all departments place in U.S. News and World Report listings.
