I went to Michigan Tech -- one of the top-line engineering schools. They don't (and haven't) had a four year degree in automotive engineering. They do have, though, a very large representation of graduates in the automotive field. Go to any of the major (heck, the minors, too) auto companies and you'll find a big batch of Tech grads.
You might be able to find out if there is such a thing as a specific auto. engineering program by calling Tech and asking what they can tell you. Some lesser schools with engineering programs might also be able to help you find something that'll fit. Try Purdue or Cornell, maybe. Kettering University, in Flint, Michigan, was founded by auto folks. I don't see them listing an auto engr. program, but they might also be able to steer you in the right direction.
