The BAS degree is designed primarily for students whose interests are not oriented toward receiving a professional engineering preparation. Please learn more about our majors listed on the left.

In addition to the degree programs, Penn Engineering’s interdisciplinary programs offer students a diverse academic experience and the intellectual grounding essential to collaboration and innovation.

A Penn Engineering degree prepares students to pursue any number of paths, able to apply what they learned in the classroom to solving real-life problems. As engineers, they collaborate in teams, think across disciplines to create breakthrough change, and can make a tremendous impact on daily life.

There are many majors within Engineering – from bioengineering and computer science to mechanical engineering and applied mechanics. Students can choose a major at the outset, or they can elect to matriculate as Curriculum Deferred until the end of their freshman year. Courses like Engineering 101 provide an opportunity for these students to explore different areas and find what engages them.
