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. 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 about 9 percent of undergraduate and 36 percent of graduate degrees granted.
