Engineering Science isn't the most popular bachelor's program in the world, but it's not the least popular either. To be more precise it ranks #198 in popularity out of 363 majors in the country. So, you may have to do some digging around to find quality schools that offer the degree program. This list can help with that.
In 2025, College Factual analyzed 2 schools in order to identify the top ones for its Best Engineering Science Bachelor's Degree Schools in the New England Region ranking. Combined, these schools handed out 178 bachelor's degrees in engineering science to qualified students.
Average early-career salary of those graduating with their bachelor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your bachelor's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.
Other Factors We Consider
The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to engineering science students as compared to other majors.
Major Demand - How many other engineering science students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
Student Debt - How much debt engineering science students go into to obtain their bachelor's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized engineering science related body.
Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for engineering science students working on their bachelor's degree.
