Applying to Stanford: Stanford Office of Admissions | View admissions »
Prospective undergraduates interested in studying engineering at Stanford apply to the university — not directly to the School of Engineering. Stanford encourages all undergraduates to pursue a broad-based education, and this policy allows them to sample the resources of the university before committing to a major field of study.

Declaring an engineering major
Students can complete up to two years of university work before declaring a major. The freedom to explore your options is a Stanford tradition; however, if you intend to major in engineering you should plan your schedule carefully. You'll need substantial amounts of mathematics, science, and fundamental engineering coursework in the first two years.
Course Offerings | View courses »
You can view the courses offered to both undergraduate and graduates in engineering by visiting the Stanford University Bulletin.

Research Opportunities for Undergraduates | View research »
There are a number of programs that give undergraduate engineering students an opportunity to work with members of the faculty and their research groups on advanced research topics. These programs provide a mechanism for making engineering more accessible while increasing the number of talented, enthusiastic young students who pursue an education in engineering.

Why I chose Stanford
When I was applying to college, I was unsure of what I wanted to study. As the home to many excellent departments, Stanford gave me the assurance that whatever I decided that I wanted to do, I would receive a great education. Meet our students »
