At
Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE),
theory is brought to life and
reinforced for students through
extensive integration of laboratory
experimentation. Understanding
theoretical concepts and knowing how
to apply them is key to the success
of MSOE graduates. Established in
1903, MSOE provides a climate for
students to become well-rounded,
technologically experienced
graduates, and highly productive
professionals and leaders. MSOE has
a small university atmosphere within
an exciting city environment. The
15-acre, user-friendly campus is
located in a historic district
downtown, just blocks from beautiful
Lake Michigan. There are dozens of
student activities, organizations,
sororities and fraternities, and
intercollegiate and intramural
sports. Called 'The Genuine American
City,' Milwaukee boasts hundreds off
parks and miles of bike trails, a
vibrant fine arts and cultural
community, major and minor league
sports, a brisk live-music scene,
and is famous for its more than 50
annual festivals. The city also is a
business, technological and
industrial center, where
opportunities for internships and
jobs abound. The student body of
2,400 men and women comes from
throughout the United States and
numerous countries. Since its
founding, the university has
encouraged the enrollment of
students of any race, color, creed
or gender. Approximately half the
full-time students live in three
modern high-rise residence halls.
UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS
If you
like math and science, nothing’s
better than hands-on, laboratory
experience. At MSOE, you’ll spend
more time in labs than in the
classroom — an average of 600
laboratory hours while at MSOE.
In the classroom, you’ll feel like
the center of attention with a 12-1
student-teacher ratio that allows
for personal interaction. And you’ll
never be taught by a teaching
assistant. MSOE doesn’t use them. We
use professors with plenty of
industry experience.
Your individual attention will help
you apply what you learn to
real-life situations. Create models
of buildings. Work on software
programs. Build a hard drive. Write
a business plan. Nurses work with
real patients starting sophomore
year.
If you’re interested in an
internship, MSOE is in the right
location. Many students get
internships with well known
companies — and many internships
lead to jobs after graduation.
During your senior year, you’ll work
with a group of other students,
collaborating on a project for a
real client. This intensive,
real-world experience helps you
apply what you learned in class, lab
and during internships. And you also
practice the all-important skill of
working with others as you consider
time, budget, location and much
more.
You’ll feel at home in no time with
plenty of events and more than 60
organizations to meet other
students. Hang out in the Campus
Center to chat, play games, shoot
pool or eat. Or meet other students
while staying fit in body and
spirit. Work out, skate, run, play
volleyball or another sport with
friends all in the Kern Center.
MSOE students:
-Get high paying jobs after
graduation — with an average
starting salary of $49,500. (And 98%
of the students have these jobs
within six months.)
-Connect with their professors in
small classrooms.
-Start their careers sooner. We
guarantee you can graduate in four
years if you stay on track.
