Milwaukee School of Engineering
At 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.
Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is an independent university with
about 2,400 students. Established in 1903, and celebrating its 101st
year in 2004, 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 in downtown Milwaukee, just blocks from beautiful Lake
Michigan. There are dozens of student activities, organizations,
sororities and fraternities, and intramural sports. MSOE students may
also participate in 20 intercollegiate sports from basketball to hockey.
MSOE offers a personalized education with an 11-to-1 student-to-faculty
ratio. Classes are taught by professors with key employment experience
in their respective field, not teaching assistants. The university has a
four-year graduation guarantee for on-track students, and a
post-graduation placement rate of 97 percent over the past five years.
Students gain invaluable experience through more than 600 laboratory
hours, professional internships, study abroad programs, and work in the
Applied Technology Center™.

College Credit For High School Students:
-
Secondary school students from a PLTW
certified school may apply to MSOE for transcripted college credit for
the PLTW courses POE, IED, DE, CIM, and CEA. In addition to being from a
PLTW certified school, the student must have an average of 85% or better
for the course, have a completed course portfolio, and have a grade of
70% or better on the PLTW college exam and pay the required tuition .
The student will receive 3 quarter credits for each of the courses taken
that meet these requirements. MSOE will accept transcripted credit from
other Affiliate Universities for these courses. Substitution of a
particular PLTW course for a course in a particular program will depend
on the program curriculum in force at the time of admittance to MSOE.
This decision will be made by the program director.
