This ranking builds upon the 2007 U.S. News and World Report ranking in which two School of Engineering graduate departments ranked in the top 15 nationally.

Upcoming IntraFirm Receptions

Connecting with alumni on a personal level is a priority for the Swanson School of Engineering. One of the new ways the school is doing this is through the IntraFirm program, which is designed to partner with companies where at least 20 Pitt engineering alumni are employed.

Foundations for Greatness

The Campaign for Engineering

Over the past decade, the annual amount of total cash gifts donated by alumni and friends like you has increased dramatically.

As illustrated here, the school rarely received more than $1–2 million in total annual support in the years before 1997. In three of the past four years our total cash support has exceeded $10 million, and those funds are empowering the Swanson School of Engineering in ways that were never before possible, or even imaginable.

Your generosity is giving the Swanson School of Engineering a foundation for greatness. Read more about our campaign.
