Applying to Stanford?

Prospective students do not apply to the School of Engineering; instead, undergraduates apply to the university, and graduates apply directly to a department.

Undergraduates
All undergraduates apply to, and are admitted to, the university as a whole. Stanford believes strongly in the benefits of a broad-based education so students are encouraged to sample widely from the abundant array of course offerings, and are not required to declare a major until the beginning of junior year. Please visit undergraduate admissions for information on procedures and requirements.

Keep in mind, however, that before you declare an engineering major you'll need to have taken substantial amounts of mathematics, science, and fundamental engineering coursework. It's also a good idea to take a freshman seminar, to get a feel for what hands-on engineering work is like. For more information, please visit the prospective undergraduates pages.

Graduates
Students interested in School of Engineering graduate programs apply directly to a particular department. Many of the admission requirements are common to all departments, but specific requirements, deadlines, and contacts vary. For these details, as well as the application form and instructions, please visit the university's graduate admissions pages.

The School of Engineering includes graduate programs in:

• Aeronautics and Astronautics
• Bioengineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil and Environmental Engineering
• Computational and Mathematical Engineering
• Computer Science
