Olin College of Engineering

Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering

Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering is a brand new, innovative undergraduate institution that offers a full-tuition scholarship valued at over $130,000 to every admitted student.

Chartered in 1997, Olin College opened it doors in the fall of 2002. However, the idea for Olin goes back nearly two decades. That's when the National Science Foundation and leaders of the engineering community began urging fundamental reforms in engineering education, including more emphasis on entrepreneurship, teamwork, and communication. The F.W. Olin Foundation took up the challenge, committing more than $460 million to create a new undergraduate engineering college. Bringing together some of the best minds and the best ideas in engineering education, Olin developed a hands-on, interdisciplinary program geared toward today's technology challenges. State-of-the-art facilities combined with outstanding students and renowned faculty have quickly established Olin as a nationally recognized center for innovation and excellence in engineering education.

Olin's 300 undergraduates have the opportunity to major in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Engineering (general) with concentrations in Bioengineering, Computing, Materials Science, and Systems.
