Our students
We attract exceptional students. Among our first-year undergraduate classes, most were at the tops of their high school graduating classes. We average approximately 34% women among undergrads, compared to the national average of 21%, making UVA Engineering the top public engineering school in the country in terms of the proportion of women earning engineering degrees, among schools with at least 75 engineering degree-earners. We also are among the fastest-growing Ph.D. programs in the country because we are a top choice for globally competitive grad students.
