Holly Engle asked Kelly Reid, Collins Aerospace AddedMonday, November 16, 2020 at 11:54 AM How important is the university attended future employers? For example, a school ranked 11th in the nation vs a school ranked 75th in the nation for their engineering programs. I'm a returning student and have applied to several schools. I am trying to determine which school will be the best option in terms of future employment. For example, UT Austin ranks 11th and Univ. of Central FL ranks 75th in the nation for their engineering programs. Will one school give me an edge of over the other when it comes to future employers? Or in the end, is obtaining the degree the most important thing?

Both schools are great and when making your decisions, you should consider other factors. Do both programs have ABET accredited programs? Which offers you access to a better network, club involvement, or undergraduate research? How about financial incentives? At the end of the day, you want to go to a school where you will be happy! You will have to define what things will help you enjoy your college experience. The rest will fall into place!
