Academics
The curricula at MSOE are centered around engineering, engineering technology, nursing, computers, business, architectural engineering, and construction management. MSOE's primary focus is on undergraduate education, however, it does offer nine post-graduate master's programs. As of the 2011-2012 school year, MSOE had 133 full-time faculty members, 74% of whom hold a doctoral degree. Professors teach all courses; teaching assistants are not used. The student to faculty ratio is 14:1.
In 2012, MSOE established the Graduate Tuition Grant, allowing bachelor’s degree graduates to earn a master’s degree from MSOE without paying tuition, as long as they meet certain criteria.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
