Majors

Penn Engineering undergraduates pursue majors in either Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) or Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) programs.

A BSE degree is for a student who wishes to practice engineering after graduation or is interested in more technical coursework relating to the engineering field. The BAS program is designed for students who do not plan to work as professional engineers but rather want a customized education that combines other interests and technology in a manner unique to their career goals.
