A new report by the National Science Foundation ranked the Statler College 84th in research expenditures among 404 engineering programs surveyed. As an R1 – or very high research activity — classified institution, WVU ranks amongst the most elite research universities in the United States. The NSF R&D expenditure survey is one of the keys elements that contributes to the prestigious designation.
