The School of Engineering is the second largest school, by enrollment, of the 7 schools at Stanford University. Created in 1925, the School currently has 9 departments, several interdisciplinary centers, more than 30 laboratories, and countless cross-disciplinary relationships with other academic units on campus, including Medicine, Business, Linguistics, Physics, and Music.
Most departments offer degree programs at all levels of study.
The departments of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering-Economic Systems and Operations Research offer graduate degree programs only. Facilities Stanford University is located 35 miles southeast of San Francisco and 20 miles northwest of San Jose on 8,180 acres of land in the heart of the Silicon Valley. With the recently completed William Gates Computer Science Building and the expansion of the Paul G. Allen Center for Integrated Systems, the new SEQ will form a unified complex for science and engineering teaching and research programs. Foreign students accounted for 9 percent of undergraduate and 36 percent of graduate degrees granted.
