Academic Programs

Engineering today takes creativity, teamwork, experience and vision. As a student at the Watson School, you’ll tackle real-world challenges, collaborate across boundaries and learn to think like an engineer.

At the undergraduate level, you’ll start out in a common core of first-year courses that provide a broad introduction to the various disciplines of engineering before choosing one of six majors leading to the bachelor of science degree. For especially motivated students, our Honors Program provides additional challenges.

Two minors are also offered through the Engineering Design Division. The minor in general engineering is intended for students outside of engineering. The minor in sustainability engineering is designed for current engineering majors.

At the graduate level, we offer seven programs leading to the master of science degree, five programs leading to the master of engineering degree and six doctoral programs.

Whichever program you choose, you’ll work closely with faculty who are leaders in their fields, conduct real-world research in and out of the classroom and prepare for a great career.
