BA/BS in Systems Engineering

This degree equips graduates for professional roles that consider every stage of a system's life. The discipline blends engineering and computing with operations research, psychology, and economics. Core courses connect these areas so students understand how individual disciplines contribute to large, complex systems. Students deepen their technical knowledge by choosing technical electives that form an emphasis, with help from an advisor. Early coursework spans mathematics, the natural sciences, computing, writing, the humanities, the arts, and the social sciences. Teamwork, analytical reasoning, practical problem solving, and written and oral communication run throughout the program. A full-year capstone offers hands-on practice applying the discipline methods and tools. Graduates leave with a systems mindset for complex projects. Students practice teamwork and communication through the senior project and core courses.
