MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING DEGREES

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

College students majoring in manufacturing engineering are pretty uncommon. Each major grants close to 6,000 yearly undergrad degrees; last year, 506 students were conferred a bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering, making it the United States of America's 279th most popular concentration for undergraduate students. Brigham Young University-Provo​ accounted for more of those degrees than any other American college (66). Institutions in California gave out more degrees than any US State (69).

35 institutions across the nation offer undergrad degrees in manufacturing engineering; therefore, handpicking the best school for you could possibly be difficult. 81.8% fewer schools offer undergrad degrees in manufacturing engineering than the average major, making it the 318th most broadly available concentration in the USA.

GRADUATE DEGREES

While roughly four out of every seven degrees in manufacturing engineering last spring were undergrad degrees; 43% were postgrad degrees. Manufacturing engineering is the 201st most popular postgrad degree in the United States of America, with 384 degrees awarded. For context, manufacturing engineering is 86% less popular among graduate students than the average subject.

In Total, 890 students received a bachelor's or higher in manufacturing engineering last year.

ONLINE MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING DEGREES

50 of those 890 alumni (5.6%) did all their studies totally remotely - 4 college students and 46 postgraduate students. As you can tell, it's rather rare to find an American majoring in manufacturing engineering online. It's the 243rd most in-demand online degree, and 99.2% under the nation's average of 481 students per subject. For postgraduate students, it ranks 165th, and is 92.5% under the nation's average (616).

National University​ awarded more online bachelor's degrees in manufacturing engineering than any other US college (4).

There are 2 institutions around the nation with a completely online undergraduate degree in manufacturing engineering, making it the 318th most widely offered online US degree. A shade over 1/20th of schools conferring the degree even have a remote option, and every single institution awarding bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering is private.

If you wish to study manufacturing engineering entirely remotely, we suggest you view National University, as it has the 19th best manufacturing engineering program in the country. They also award an additional 97 degrees remotely, so you will be able to try out classes in other areas of study. Additionally, they have 1,849 online college students, which is 25% of the undergraduate population.
