75 Best Engineering schools in Texas
Updated:
Below is a list of best universities in Texas ranked based on their research performance in Engineering. A graph of 18.2M citations received by 623K academic papers made by 75 universities in Texas 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.
