Dear Alfred University alumni, parents and friends,
I am pleased to let you know that our University has been ranked among the top 50 graduate programs in materials engineering in the country according to the latest rankings published by U.S. News & World Report. Alfred University’s Inamori School of Engineering/New York State College of Ceramics shares the 50th spot with seven other institutions including the University of California, Irvine; the University of Pittsburgh; and the University of Arizona. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology earned the top spot in the specialty rankings, published Monday, March 26.
Among schools in New York State, only Cornell University (sixth), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (24th) and Columbia University (28th) rank higher than Alfred University does.
Alfred University also showed the fifth-best improvement from the 2018 U.S. News & World Report rankings, moving up 11 spots.
Please join me in congratulating and thanking our Inamori School/New York State College of Ceramics faculty, staff, students, and alumni for their dedication and accomplishments that have earned our University such notable distinction.
Fiat Lux!
