Best Universities for Systems Engineering in North America

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in North America ranked based on their research performance in Systems Engineering. A graph of 12.7M citations received by 418K academic papers made by 577 universities in North America was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
