FABE Tied for Tenth in U.S. News & World Report

Ohio State University's Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering (FABE) tied for tenth in the nation for biological/agricultural engineering programs in the recent U.S. News & World Report's 2011 edition of America's Best Colleges.

FABE is Ohio State's top-ranked engineering department, and is part of both the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and the College of Engineering. The College of Engineering was ranked 26th overall and 17th among public universities; U.S. News does not rate agricultural colleges.

The department shares the 10th-place ranking with North Carolina State University-Raleigh and Pennsylvania State University.

"Obviously, this is a point of pride," said Sudhir Sastry, interim department chair and professor of food engineering. "But we have ranked highly ever since U.S. News started rating agricultural and biological engineering programs earlier this decade."
