(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Carnegie Mellon University was ranked 25 on the "Best National Universities" list in the recently released US News & World Report's 2015 Best College Rankings.
The 2015 edition of Best Colleges includes data on nearly 1,800 schools nationwide to help parents and students evaluate their options. Of those, 280 are considered National Universities, which emphasise faculty research and offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master's and Ph D programmes.
Carnegie Mellon ranked number 8 for the "Best Undergraduate Business Programmes" list, number 2 in "Management Information Systems" and number 1 for "Graduate Schools in Computer Science," reflecting the university's high quality programmes and award-winning faculty.
University rankings have proven to be a useful resource, guiding prospective students through the university selection process.
A survey conducted by Carnegie Mellon Qatar amongst incoming students in early 2014, revealed the university's ranking and reputation as a top factor impacting the university selection process. Programmes offered and job opportunities were also cited as important factors for prospective students from Qatar.
As one of Carnegie Mellon's most prestigious programmes, the undergraduate degree in business administration encompasses management, leadership and a commitment to ethical behaviour.
"Carnegie Mellon's undergraduate business programme is consistently ranked among the top 10 programmes in the United States, reflecting our rigorous curriculum, global focus and analytical approach to problem solving. We are also proud that the university's graduate programme in computer science has placed number 1 in the country," said Ilker Baybars, dean of Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar. Carnegie Mellon Qatar graduates are well prepared to shape the future development of Qatar and the region.
Other schools listed at the top were Princeton University, Harvard University, Yale University and Columbia University.
