ENGINEERING SCIENCE DEGREES

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

It is fairly rare to find an American undergraduate studying engineering science. Each discipline gives out close to 6,200 annual bachelor's degrees; last spring, 599 people completed an undergraduate degree in engineering science, making it the United States' 257th most popular major. Dartmouth College​ granted more of those degrees than any other U.S. college (109), and schools in New Hampshire conferred more degrees than any American State (109).

Handpicking the right fit may be challenging, considering undergrad degrees in engineering science are offered at 47 institutions in the United States. Undergrad degrees in the average concentration are granted at 4.1 times more colleges than degrees in engineering science, making it the 284th most commonly available U.S. area of study.

GRADUATE DEGREES

While last year, 58% of degrees in engineering science were bachelor's degrees; 42% were grad degrees. Engineering science is the 185th most popular grad degree in the country, with 440 degrees awarded. To put that in context, engineering science is 84% less popular among master's or doctor's students than the average subject.

In Total, 1,039 students received a bachelor's or higher in engineering science last spring.
