For more than 100 years, the Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University has been at the forefront of education and research. Advancing in every aspect, the college is committed to pursuing excellence in education, as well as providing an environment for personal growth and development.

As one of approximately 40 named engineering colleges in the nation, the Bagley College offers degree programs in eight different academic engineering departments and 10 certificate programs. Each academic program provides a challenging curriculum and an encouraging environment to allow students to achieve their full potential.

The Bagley College of Engineering is Mississippi State’s third largest college. It currently ranks 34th among all engineering colleges nationally in research and development expenditures according to the National Science Foundation. U.S. News and World Report ranks the undergraduate engineering programs in the top third in the U.S. and our graduate engineering programs is in the top quarter nationwide.

The college encourages all students to enhance their technical, leadership, and communication skills through the Center for Engineering Student Excellence. The Bagley College ranks nationally among the top 25 engineering colleges in graduating African-American engineers.

Only 9 percent of American engineers are women. The low numbers of women practicing in the engineering profession can be discouraging, but the Bagley College of Engineering is changing that situation.  The college is hiring more female professors, conducting teacher education workshops, and offering outreach and mentor programs that teach elementary and high school girls the reasons to consider engineering as a profession.  As a result, undergraduate female enrollment rates are up and  graduate enrollment rates are above the national average.
