Each week we’ll be highlighting a different academic school here at The College of New Jersey, starting with the School of Engineering! Here are five things to know:

1. We have one! Although historically known as a liberal arts college TCNJ offers strong, competitive programs in several disciplines: biomedical, civil, computer and electrical, mechanical, management and technology.

2. We have one of the highest populations of women engineers in the country at 25%! In addition to ethnic and geographic di-versity our engineers have a variety of academic tracks, from dual degrees in education or business to preparing to go into law and medical school.
