DIVERSITY AT THE BCoE

The Bagley College of Engineering’s diversity program has a mission to increase the participation of minorities and women in the field of engineering. The program has been extremely successful in the past few years placing the Bagley College of Engineering in the top 15 institutions of higher learning in terms of graduating minority engineers.

Through the diversity office located in the McCain Engineering Building, students have the opportunity to join a number of groups that promote diversity and enhance the experiences of minority and women students throughout their college career. Each of these programs strives to create an educational environment of inclusiveness and high academic excellence that will continue to succeed in graduating and preparing minority students and women for an engineering career.
