Largest engineering schools in Texas by degrees awarded

44 engineering schools in Texas awarded 9,773 bachelor’s degrees in engineering to first majors from July 2024 to June 2025, by NCES’s count: 2nd of the 51 states and DC with a engineering school. Texas A&M University-College Station awarded the most, 2,381. An engineering school here is a college that awarded at least one bachelor’s degree in any program of NCES’s CIP family 14, Engineering. The rule is broad by construction: every engineering discipline counts, and engineering technology (CIP 15) does not.

What this data cannot show

  • How a college is organized or accredited is not in NCES’s completions file: a college is of this type because of the degrees it reported, and a university’s whole count is here whichever of its schools awarded them.
  • First majors only. NCES counts a graduate with two majors under each; this counts each degree once, under the first.
  • Colleges that awarded the same number share a rank.
  • The 2025–26 collection is NCES’s newest. Its first release is provisional: institutions’ corrections arrive with the revised file about a year later. NCES imputes the awards of an institution that did not respond, and this table does not mark which.
  • Every institution in Texas in NCES’s file that awarded these degrees has a college page here, and is in the table.
  • The state is the one NCES files the college under; a campus in another state is ranked there.
