Beginning in the 2007-2008 academic year, Olin College will offer a Certificate in Engineering Studies for students at Brandeis University, Wellesley College, and Babson College. Certificate programs in a number of different disciplines are offered. The courses of study are designed to provide the student with a fundamental understanding of an engineering field, and typically consist of five courses ranging from first-year to upper-level.

Some quick answers

Q: What courses do I need to take to get a Certificate?
A: Check out the PDF above!

Q: How do I register?
A: Just like you would for any other cross-registered course. See your registrar.

Q: Why would I take this Certificate program?
A: The Certificate provides a structured course of study in engineering that allows students to gain more exposure, more education, and more experience in the art and science of engineering than a non-engineering degree would provide. We believe that students completing the Certificate have the opportunity to expand their post-graduate options for careers or advanced study in technological fields by demonstrating a more significant degree of engineering expertise and a commitment to further engineering education.

Q: What can I take at Olin?

A: You can take almost any course at Olin for cross-registration credit.
