Electrical Engineering Doctoral Ranking

Stanford is the top university for Electrical Engineering. The Department of Electrical Engineering (http://www-ee.stanford.edu) offers Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, which is built on a broad base of science, mathematics, and engineering skills. Stanford is also ranked top for its graduate school in Electrical / Electronic / Communications, according to the US News & World Report 2010 (ranked joint first with University of California--Berkeley and MIT).

The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department (EECS) (http://www.eecs.mit.edu/grad/index.html) at MIT is the largest in the School of Engineering with about 700 graduate students in the doctoral program. The department offers four graduate degree programs:

• Master of Science (SM), required of students pursuing a doctoral degree

Master of Engineering (MEng), for MIT EECS undergraduates only

Electrical Engineer (EE)/Engineer in Computer Science (ECS)

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)/Doctor of Science (ScD), awarded interchangeably
