Undergraduate Education

The first freshman class enrolled in engineering at Mississippi State in 1892. Since that time, more than 15,000 engineers - men and women - have become respected leaders in many diverse fields across the state, the nation, and the world. From 13 students more than 100 years ago to an enrollment of over 4,500 in twelve major fields, the last century has seen Mississippi State's Bagley College of Engineering grow in size and, more importantly, national prominence.

The Bagley College of Engineering is a professional college whose purposes are to provide both undergraduate and graduate education, to conduct basic and applied research and to engage in extension and public service activities. The College consists of many operating departments and centers, including the following departments or programs of study:
