[quote=Anonymous]It is well-known in the region for preparing students for jobs - it has a high job placement rate and starting salary. It's an intense curriculum - starting right into the major classes. They give good merit aid, its a compact campus near downtown Milwaukee - safer than Marquette.

When we looked at it - we were told that higher officials in the midwest hire MSOE grads because they know they are ready for the work environment. Our student preferred not to be in an urban environment and felt some buildings were old. During our visit, we heard that classes are small, since it's not a PhD granting institution professors are readily available for office hours and help (instead of being focused on their research). There are a lot of supports in place - tutoring, office hours, etc to help students through the rigorous coursework. Our student liked that most of the student body was engineering (they do have a small business and nursing school) so everyone was very focused and had a similar reason for being there. They have had a lot of Alumni/donor support over the years and seem focused on improving the dorms and buildings.

My cousin, a ME,  reviewed the curriculum and said it was tough but set up to get you through in 4 years. Our student decided to attend somewhere else but really liked MSOE. [/quote]
