by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., September 1, 2000-- New Mexico Tech has once again
been listed as one of the best engineering schools in the nation
in the latest annual rankings published today by U. S. News
& World Report.
[Earlier this year, New Mexico Tech's graduate program in
hydrology was again ranked fourth in the nation for the fifth
year in a row in U. S. News & World Report's
annual rankings
of graduate schools, while the university's graduate program in
petroleum engineering also made the guidebook's top ten list in
that field of study for the second year running.]
The public, state-funded research university in Socorro is
joined in the select group by four other public schools and nine
private colleges in the magazine's unranked category of specialty
schools that offer most of their degrees in engineering fields.
U. S. News & World Report's annual rankings of
the nation's top institutions of higher education is included
in the magazine's special issue of America's Best Colleges
2001, which went on sale today.
The magazine's current rankings of over 1,400 universities
also are available on the Internet at
