Unless otherwise prohibited, prerequisites for the major may be taken under the non-recording option. No more than two transfer courses may be used for credit in the major. One elective in mathematics, engineering sciences, or science. One elective in engineering sciences, which may be the Culminating Experience. Though rigorous, the program is flexible.
Engineers participate in sports teams, musical groups, and other extracurricular activities.
The engineering sciences major is excellent preparation for careers requiring abilities in quantitative analysis and problem-solving. It requires up to a year beyond the A.B., but some students can plan their schedules to complete the A.B. and B.E. together in twelve or thirteen terms. Get a master's degree at Thayer School. After the completion of the A.B. it is also possible to earn a master's degree at Thayer School in 2 years or less. We offer both the research-oriented Master of Science and the Master of Engineering Management.
