BA/BS in Systems Engineering

The bachelor of science in systems engineering builds skills in model building, software and information systems, and reasoning under uncertainty. Students put engineering techniques and mathematical tools to work helping decision makers design and operate systems effectively. The degree gives learners a strong quantitative base for many technical careers. Learners study how systems behave in fields like medicine, defense, manufacturing, and management, and they practice predicting that behavior with models. Students may pursue a double major and join professional societies, and they can connect with an alumni network that leads to internships. Graduates have started careers in communications, energy, finance, health care, and transportation. The breadth of the discipline means graduates can enter many sectors with the same core skill set.
