Since 1903, we’ve been an academic institution intrinsically tied to the real world—a confluence of business knowledge, work ethic, and an enduring desire to know more. A small university dedicated to achieving big things. We are a tight-knit group of like-minded individuals—professors with years of industry experience who come to mold the eager and determined; students who pursue their passions with tenacity and resilience. Together, we unriddle the impossible and reinvent the way things are done.

MSOE students are bright, creative, hard-working and fun to be around. Ours is a close-knit community of about 3,000 students, faculty and staff—large enough for big opportunities and small enough for personal attention.

Our faculty are passionate about teaching. MSOE does not use teaching assistants, and our professors have an average of seven years industry experience each. This allows them to bring their practical knowledge to the classroom.

I will be a Freshman this coming fall when I went to review the school earlier this year I felt very welcomed by the staff the tour was very on point and any question I had about the school they had the answer. They had made me feel like I will part of something bigger than I imagined.
I look forward to attending and developing my knowledge and working toward my career as a Mechanical Engineer and I feel that MSOE has the best to offer.

Great teachers! Smaller class sizes. Staff sees you as individual and helps better your weaknesses. Very challenging but rewarding courses.
The dorms need some major renovations. For how much individuals have to pay for, the living areas shouldn’t be so awful.
Also, there should be more variety in the class choices for nurses. Maybe some art or more music courses.

I am a really big fan of the small class sizes that make for a much for personal learning environment. I am not a huge fan of the teaching disparities between teachers, two students taking the same class could have polar opposite experiences in a class, and it is all dependent on the teacher. It would be nice if there was standardization and professors didn't do whatever they felt like. I am also not fond of the limited food options at our cafeteria. I am a lactose intolerant student who does not eat pork and tries to stay away from fried foods. So, most days all I have to eat are unseasoned vegetables and/or overcooked chicken/fish. There is also a lot of racism here and as most of the faculty and staff are white, nothing ever really gets done about because they don't care.
