Is Ohio State University a good school for aerospace engineering?

Aerospace Engineering is a very specialized program not found in many universities around the world. The department of mechanical and aerospace engineering, Ohio State University offers BS, MS as well as PhD degree in aerospace engineering. While there are plenty of feats mentioned on OSU's website, you are better off visiting the university yourself and speak to recent passouts as well as the students presently studying there. This will help you understand more about their shortcomings which are conveniently hidden by their many excellent achievements. At the undergraduate level it offers various highly specialized electives such as turbomachinery, aeroelasticity, helicopter aerodynamics, propulsion, fluid mechanics etc. In addition to that, the school also offers an MS as well as PhD which can also be taken up after completing your BS directly subjected to a minimum of 80 graduate credit hours at BS level. There are professors who are top class in what they do, especially one from the Jet Propulsion Systems. So if the culture of the university fits you, then you will do great at the school. However, you should always look up to some current students or alumni to get some better insights. You may also consider going to the university directly and talk to students of the department.

How is Ohio State University for a MS in computer engineering in terms of the quality of courses and placements?

It is seriously top-notch. It used to rank about USA's top 25 Engineering Schools and is presently at #30- which means it might have slipped a bit lower but is still counted among the big names. OSU offers an MS in computer engineering in two forms; research track which requires a thesis completion as well as 30 credit hours and a coursework track which requires 33 credit hours without the need of a thesis. Research is a big part of the master’s degree and with professors here conducting research in areas such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data etc. you are assured of a quality teaching. Also many times, the professors will also incorporate projects based on the theoretical implementations which is really beneficial for the students. Any college needs to be of excellent quality to maintain this position consistently. As far as placements are concerned, it will depend on the overall job market during the time of your course completion. Also how much you have accomplished and the knowledge you gained during the course play a huge role during placements. Rest assured, this is a STEM program from a very prestigious state university, so you are assured of at least entry level jobs with decent to good grades. Some of the biggest recruiters who have visited the campus include Facebook, Microsoft, Google etc.

What is your review of The Ohio State University?

OSU's variety and wide university culture may be amazing for many but surely there are still many who have mixed feelings about their time spent there. There are many good things to say about their programs, faculty and all the resources and facilities readily available. However you may find their obsession with football and Greek-life inspired groups frustrating and tiring. However, Ohio State University is still a decent public university with campuses in Columbus, Ohio with regional campuses at Lima, Mansfield, Marion, Wooster and Newark. If you are a party loving person who loves alcohol parties and all other sorts of things that happen with it, you will totally enjoy the campus life. However if you want a quiet environment with a lot of focus on education, you may not enjoy the campus life to the fullest. It is ranked well and thus still a good choice even now– QS World University Rankings (2021) - #108 THE World University Rankings (2021) - #80 US News Best National Universities Ranking (2021) - #53 Now let’s look at the various aspects of the university on which you should base your decision – Coursework – The best things about the university are its professors who are top notch. The course curriculum is also designed very well and the various facilities that are required for the coursework are excellent as well. This is good for the graduate programs. However the undergraduates and intro graduate programs have ineffective pedagogy. Teaching Experience – The faculty interaction will be limited because the labs and lecture halls are huge along with a large number of students. You will be taught by Teacher Assistants (TA) and even professors who will just read out the notes and you will find the lectures difficult to comprehend. You will read for exams and then quickly forget them as you move on. Campus or University culture – Sports is a big part of the campus culture, especially its football team. Thus there can be frequent inconveniences, especially during weekend matches when you may have your cars being towed away from the parking lot to accommodate alums’ vehicles. So finally to conclude, the teaching experience may be somewhat similar at other universities as well. However, if you want to have a rich education and you are not a huge fan of the party culture, you may very well stay away from the school and apply for some other liberal arts colleges.

How is Ohio State University for doing a master's in computer science?

OSU's Computer Science department has one of the highest qualified professors in the country, so it all boils down on what you make of this program. It is well ranked and presently at #30 among US’s top CS schools. You'll get access to many fields like Networks, Big Data, NLP and no shortage of research opportunities. You'll also have no problem finding internships or jobs. You'll even have over one offer if you're good. OSU is a great university to pursue master’s in computer science from. It is one of the 14 departments in the college of engineering offering master’s and doctoral degrees. Here are some quick stats: QS World University Rankings by subject 2020 : Computer Science and Information Systems #151 – 200 THE World University Rankings by subject 2020 : Computer Science #101 – 125 US News Best Computer Science Schools in the USA #30 Tuition and Fees (per year) Ohio Residents – $16,525 (INR 12,22,850) Non-Ohio Residents – $39,999 (INR 29,59,926) The best thing about this program is that it provides the students to either go for a coursework degree or go for a research heavy thesis. The professors at the university have done some of the best research in the fields related to computer science, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), High Performance Computing (HPC), Big Data, Networks etc. Thus they include the graduates in their groups which is a great learning experience for the students. In addition they also may also include some practical projects relating to implementation of the topics researched. Thus the research perspectives of the students are widened while doing the MS which help them in placements. Top recruiters such as Cisco, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook do hire from the campus. So overall it is a decent school to pursue master’s in computer science with a lot of focus on research which makes the school good enough for most graduates.

What are the strongest majors in terms of job prospects and what are the weakest majors at The Ohio State University?

Your job prospects or sales prospects have nothing to do where you went to study. There's a common perception that Arts are among the weakest majors- however OSU definitely provides a certain 'brand name recognition' which applies to most of its programs. The Ohio State University is a research oriented university offering 263 different programs in Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral as well as certificates to the students. It has 21 different schools for students to choose from according to their future prospects and interests. The strongest majors in terms of job prospects will arguably be from the school of science and engineering. Among the engineering programs, Welding Engineering is the least known (also one of a kind) program. Yet, the graduates are very much sought after by recruiters. Apart from that the school of medicine has a cancer research facility which is also excellent. The school of veterinary and the school of nursing also offer the best job prospects after graduating from the university. There have also been instances where the hospitals have agreed to pay the loans for the students, from which you can gauge the demand for nurses. As for the weakest majors, Art, History, French and Italian are among the courses which do not attract many jobs after graduation. In no way this suggests that these courses are bad. The industry of these courses, especially fine arts, works more as “sales” rather than “job”. Thus most bachelor degree holders in fine arts actually work in fields which are not even remotely connected to arts. Also brand recognition of the university is not as high as that of Yale University or Columbia University which hinders the chances of Master’s students while applying for teaching positions.

What's New in Ohio St U?

18 June 2026: The The Ohio State University QS Rankings 2027 have been announced. The Ohio State University is ranked #201 in the QS World University Rankings 2027 among more than 1,500 universities worldwide. Check out the top 10 ranked universities for QS World University Rankings 2027.

The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, is the United States’ largest single-campus public university by enrollment, and one of only a handful of US public institutions placed inside the global Top 110 by THE and ARWU in the current edition. In QS World University Rankings 2027, The Ohio State University ranks #=201 globally, while its strongest published subject is Education at #7 worldwide on ARWU GRAS 2025.

QS World University Rankings 2027: #=201 globally
Collegedunia Study Abroad 2026: #83 globally, #36 in the USA
THE World University Rankings 2026: #=108 globally
ARWU (Shanghai) 2025: #83 globally

Reading the rank pattern: The Ohio State University ranking sits 93 places higher on THE than on QS in their current editions, a gap that signals stronger teaching reputation and research impact than employer brand share. Against IIT Delhi at QS #118 and IIT Bombay at QS #=134 in QS 2027, Ohio State trails on QS overall but ranks at #7 worldwide for Education on ARWU, ahead of any Indian institute on that subject list. For Indian applicants comparing public US universities, this pattern points to a research-led education with strong Big Ten alumni recognition for STEM and business careers.

The Ohio State University Overall Rankings 2026

Four global ranking bodies place The Ohio State University inside their Top 210, with THE and ARWU positioning the university within the global Top 110 in their most recent editions. The cross-body spread of roughly 137 positions between THE (#=108) and QS (#=201) is the single most important signal in the consolidated picture.

Ranking Body and Edition	The Ohio State University Rank
Collegedunia Study Abroad 2026	#83 globally, #36 in USA
U.S. News Best Global Universities 2026-2027	#64 globally
ARWU (Shanghai) 2025	#83 globally
THE World University Rankings 2026	#=108 globally
QS World University Rankings 2027	#=201 globally

U.S. News (which weights research output, international collaboration and global reputation) places The Ohio State University at #64, its highest current-edition position across all four bodies. The 137-place THE-to-QS divergence narrows to just 25 places between THE and ARWU, telling Indian applicants that research metrics and academic reputation carry the Ohio State University ranking, not employer share.

Key insight: Three of four ranking bodies place The Ohio State University in the global Top 110 in 2025 or 2026, so the QS Top 200 slip is the outlier rather than the trend.

The Ohio State University Rankings: Bottom Line for Indian Students

For an Indian student weighing The Ohio State University ranking against home options, the comparison is not a head-to-head overall race but a subject-by-subject decision. The table below translates each rank into its practical signal for the Indian applicant.

Signal	The Ohio State University	What it means for Indian applicants
QS World 2027	#=201 globally	Outside QS Top 200 by 1 place, still well inside the global Top 250 and the US public Top 25
THE 2026	#=108 globally	Best teaching-and-research signal for Indian applicants planning research-intensive MS or PhD work
ARWU 2025	#83 globally	Research output strong enough to support PhD ambitions and US faculty placement
U.S. News Best Global 2026-2027	#64 globally	Single most useful number for Indian families comparing US public flagships in 2026
Closest Indian alternative (QS 2027)	IIT Delhi #118, IIT Bombay #=134	IITs rank above Ohio State on QS overall but do not appear in QS subject Top 50 for Education, Communication or Nursing

An Indian student choosing The Ohio State University over IIT Bombay trades 67 QS places for US in-country work eligibility, Big Ten alumni access and one of the world’s Top 10 Education programmes. The trade-off makes sense for non-engineering subjects and for any student who values US OPT, F1 to H1B pathways and university-led research grants over QS overall rank.

Key insight

Subject ranks beat overall ranks here: ARWU GRAS 2025 places Ohio State at #7 in Education and #7 in Communication, 194 positions above its QS overall rank.
Indian alternative gap is narrowing on US News: Ohio State #64 on U.S. News Best Global 2026-2027 sits inside the global Top 70 that IITs are still climbing toward.
Cross-body Top 110: THE and ARWU both place The Ohio State University inside the global Top 110, more reliable than reading any single ranking in isolation.

The Ohio State University QS World University Rankings 2027

The Ohio State University QS ranking has slipped 81 places across five editions, falling from #140 in QS 2023 to #=201 in QS 2027. QS (which weights academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio and international research network) released the 2027 edition on 18 June 2026.

Year	The Ohio State University QS World Rank
2027	#=201
2026	#190
2025	#208
2024	#=151
2023	#140

The five-year average position is roughly #178, with the steepest single-year decline of 68 places between QS 2024 (#=151) and QS 2025 (#208) when QS introduced sustainability and employment outcomes as ranked indicators. The Indian applicant should read the 2027 dip as a methodology-weighted decline rather than a teaching-quality signal, because THE 2026 (which still rates teaching as a separate pillar) places Ohio State at #=108.

What it signals: A QS slip of 81 places over five editions does not move the Ohio State alumni network or the Fisher and engineering brand value for Indian students applying for the 2027 intake.

Collegedunia Study Abroad Rankings of The Ohio State University 2026

Collegedunia Study Abroad ranks The Ohio State University inside the global Top 100 in six of nine published categories, with Social Studies its single strongest result at #59 worldwide. The CD list is built for Indian study-abroad applicants and weights tuition, post-study work eligibility and Indian-student outcomes.

Category	Collegedunia Rank
Overall	#83 globally, #36 in USA
Social Studies	#59 globally, #25 in USA
Medicine	#69 globally, #27 in USA
Health Care	#69 globally, #27 in USA
Engineering	#81 globally, #33 in USA
Arts	#89 globally, #33 in USA
Humanities	#89 globally, #33 in USA
Computer Science	#94 globally, #39 in USA
Law	#151 globally, #46 in USA

The CD global rank of #83 closes the QS-overall gap of 117 places, telling Indian families that when affordability, post-study work eligibility and India-bound career outcomes are baked into the methodology, The Ohio State University ranks two positions ahead of where ARWU places it in 2025. The single weakest CD result is Law at #151, which Indian applicants planning to return to India would already discount because US JD credentials require separate licensing.

India-relevance: Six of nine Collegedunia categories sit inside the global Top 100, so The Ohio State University ranking for Indian students reads stronger on the CD list than on QS 2027 across every comparable subject.

The Ohio State University Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings 2026

THE (which weights teaching, research environment, citation impact, international outlook and industry income) ranks The Ohio State University at #=108 in its 2026 edition, 93 places above its current QS standing. The 2026 edition was released by THE on 9 October 2025.

Year	The Ohio State University THE World Rank
2026	#=108
2025	#116
2024	#99
2023	#112
2022	#85

The Ohio State University THE ranking has fluctuated inside a 31-place band (#85 to #116) across five editions, recovering 8 places between 2025 and 2026 after a single-year drop of 17 places between 2024 (#99) and 2025 (#116). For Indian applicants reading research output as the primary signal, the 2026 recovery moves Ohio State back inside the THE Top 110 alongside US peers such as Pennsylvania State University and Michigan State University.

Trend signal: An 8-place THE recovery in a single year tightens the gap to the US public Top 50, supporting the case for Indian PhD candidates targeting Ohio State research labs in 2026.

The Ohio State University ARWU (Shanghai) Rankings 2025

ARWU (which weights research output, citation impact and Nobel and Fields alumni) places The Ohio State University at #83 in 2025, its second consecutive year inside the global Top 100 after three years in the #101-150 band. The 2025 edition was released by ShanghaiRanking in August 2025.

Year	The Ohio State University ARWU Rank
2025	#83
2024	#82
2023	#101-150
2022	#101-150
2021	#101-150

The Ohio State University ARWU ranking moved up at least 18 places in a single edition between 2023 (#101-150 band) and 2024 (#82), and held that band in 2025 by slipping just one place. For Indian PhD applicants weighing research strength over reputation, the back-to-back Top 100 results carry more weight than any one-year QS dip.

Key insight: Two consecutive ARWU Top-100 results is the strongest single signal that The Ohio State University research output is matching its US public flagship peers.

The Ohio State University Other Global Rankings 2026

U.S. News released its 12th annual Best Global Universities edition on 16 June 2026, the most recent global ranking to publish in this five-year window. Across 2,250 ranked institutions from 105 countries, U.S. News placed The Ohio State University at #64.

Ranking	Edition	The Ohio State University Rank
U.S. News Best Global Universities	2026-2027	#64 globally
U.S. News National Universities (Best Colleges)	2026	#41 in USA, #15 among US public universities

The U.S. News Best Global rank of #64 is the highest current-edition position The Ohio State University holds across any global ranking, and the National Universities position of #41 places it inside the US domestic Top 50 for the 22nd consecutive year. For Indian families using a single ranking to compare US public flagships, U.S. News is the closest match to how American employers and graduate schools read the Ohio State brand.

India-relevance: The 19-place gap between U.S. News domestic (#41) and U.S. News Best Global (#64) signals that Ohio State’s strongest brand is built inside the US, useful information for Indian students planning to settle for OPT and H1B after graduation.

The Ohio State University Subject Rankings 2026

The Ohio State University subject rankings include eight ARWU GRAS 2025 Top-20 results and 11 ranked subjects on the THE 2026 subject tables. Education and Communication tie as the single highest-ranked subjects at #7 globally on ARWU GRAS 2025.

Key insight

Top 10 subjects (ARWU 2025): Education #7, Communication #7, Psychology #8, all 193 to 194 places above the QS overall rank.
Top 20 subjects (ARWU 2025): Nursing #11, Management #11, Sociology #14, Veterinary Sciences #17, Metallurgical Engineering #18.
THE 2026 strongest subjects: Education Studies #40, Psychology #=50, Social Sciences #54.

The Ohio State University in ARWU GRAS 2025 Subject Rankings

ARWU GRAS (which weights research papers, citations and academic awards) places eight Ohio State subjects inside the global Top 20 in 2025. Education and Communication share the highest position at #7 worldwide.

Subject	ARWU GRAS 2025 Rank
Education	#7
Communication	#7
Psychology	#8
Nursing	#11
Management	#11
Sociology	#14
Veterinary Sciences	#17
Metallurgical Engineering	#18

Education at #7 and Communication at #7 both sit 194 places above the Ohio State QS 2027 overall rank, the single largest subject-vs-overall gap in this dataset. For Indian PG applicants targeting the College of Education or School of Communication, the subject signal completely overrides the QS 2027 slip.

The Ohio State University in THE Subject Rankings 2026

THE ranks 11 Ohio State subjects in its 2026 edition, with Education Studies at #40 and Psychology at #=50 the only Top-50 results. The THE methodology rewards teaching-and-research balance, so the Top-50 list reads narrower than ARWU GRAS.

Subject	THE 2026 Rank
Education Studies	#40
Psychology	#=50
Social Sciences	#54
Arts and Humanities	#101-125
Business and Economics	#101-125
Engineering	#101-125
Life Sciences	#101-125
Medical and Health	#101-125
Physical Sciences	#101-125
Computer Science	#151-175
Law	#151-175

Engineering and Computer Science sit in the #101-125 and #151-175 bands on THE 2026, well below the ARWU subject positions for those streams, a gap that warns Indian engineering applicants to read ARWU and THE side by side. The single most reliable Top-50 THE signal for Indian PG applicants is Education Studies at #40, which lines up cleanly with ARWU’s #7 for the same subject.

Trend signal: Across ARWU and THE, eight subjects rank inside the global Top 50, so the Ohio State University subject rankings carry more decision weight than its QS overall rank.

The Ohio State University Rankings: Indian Student Outlook

For an Indian applicant reading The Ohio State University ranking for the 2027 intake, the QS 2027 slip to #=201 is less important than the U.S. News #64 and ARWU subject Top 10 results. The decision usually comes down to which of the five most popular Indian-student programmes the applicant is targeting.

Programmes Indian students most commonly choose at The Ohio State University:

MS Computer Science and Engineering: CD ranks Computer Science at #94 globally, THE places the subject in the #151-175 band, so applicants should weigh the OPT-to-H1B pipeline more heavily than the QS subject signal.
MS Electrical and Computer Engineering: Falls under Engineering, ranked #81 by Collegedunia and #101-125 by THE, supported by a College of Engineering position inside the US Top 20 on U.S. News domestic rankings.
MBA at Fisher College of Business: Management ranks #11 on ARWU GRAS 2025, the strongest signal for any Indian MBA applicant weighing US public-university brand strength.
MS Mechanical Engineering: Backed by Metallurgical Engineering at #18 on ARWU and the wider Engineering subject band on THE.
MS Data Analytics: Reads off Management #11 and Business and Economics #101-125 on THE, plus Big Ten employer reach for Indian-student placement.

Signal for Indian applicants	The Ohio State University rank
Strongest single ranking (U.S. News Best Global 2026-2027)	#64 globally
Strongest subject (ARWU GRAS 2025)	Education #7, Communication #7
Closest Indian alternative on overall QS (QS 2027)	IIT Delhi #118, ahead of Ohio State on overall but absent from ARWU Top 50 for Education
CD vs QS overall gap	CD #83, QS #=201, a 118-place gap that favours CD for India-routed applicants
Five-year QS stability	81-place slip from 2023, reads as methodology-driven rather than teaching-quality decline

Key insight

Subject depth beats overall headline: Eight ARWU subjects inside the global Top 20 give The Ohio State University ranking for Indian students a stronger meaning at the programme level than at the QS overall level.
U.S. News reads closest to the US employer view: A Best Global rank of #64 aligns with how US tech and consulting employers screen Ohio State alumni for H1B sponsorship.
Indian-alternative gap is subject-specific: IIT Delhi (#118) and IIT Bombay (#=134) outrank Ohio State on QS overall, but Ohio State outranks both on every Education, Communication and Nursing subject list.

Read across QS, THE, ARWU and U.S. News, The Ohio State University ranks inside the global Top 110 on three of four bodies and inside the global Top 70 on the most recently published U.S. News edition. The 81-place QS slip since 2023 sits against an 8-place THE recovery and back-to-back ARWU Top-100 results, leaving the Ohio State subject brand intact for Indian applicants targeting Education, Management, Nursing or Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering.
