U.S. News retracts 2012 engineering specialty rankings
Following publication of the March 17 University Times, U.S. News & World Report announced that, due to several database errors, it had withdrawn 11 of the 12 new specialty rankings of engineering programs, and reverted to the previous year’s rankings, which now are posted on its web site (usnews.com).
As a result, the University Times immediately deleted the engineering specialty rankings from the online version of its story on the 2012 U.S. News “Best Graduate Schools” rankings.
According to the magazine, the overall rankings of best engineering schools were not affected.
