Engineering
Engineers are in demand - and surveys suggest that's not likely to change in the near future. U.S. employers regularly host foreign
engineers on employment visas in order to fill positions, as there are not nearly enough qualified U.S. professionals to meet demand. Graduate
study in engineering is probably as safe an investment as any commitment to higher education can be. At the same time, graduate study
can help engineers make more satisfying careers by updating their knowledge and skills and providing opportunities for research.
The following table lists some of the top-ranked engineering programs in the U.S.
A Note on Deadlines - Application deadlines vary by program. Check with the program you are applying to for current deadline
information. In general, plan on submitting your application no later than nine months prior to the semester you want to start classes.
