Start your studies at UMW to be ahead and be connected. From our location halfway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA, UMW is the perfect place to tap into the technology corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UMW students benefit from an optimal blend of a liberal arts education \u2013 one that builds critical thinking and communication skills \u2013 with a graduate-level expertise in one of several areas of engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-areas-of-study\">Areas of Study<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students interested in engineering are encouraged to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in one of the traditional STEM areas, such as mathematics, physics, or computer science. Graduate pathways to George Mason University and Virginia Tech allow students to move seamlessly from their undergraduate studies to introductory graduate level coursework, in many cases through an accelerated path. The agreement with GMU offers pathways into programs in Applied Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Analytics Engineering, Operations Research, Statistics, and Systems Engineering, while our partnership with VA Tech is focused more on computer science and computer engineering.

A seamless pathway to graduate school expands those opportunities. Students are integrated into Northern Virginia\u2019s technology corridor, and near Amazon\u2019s new headquarters, which already employs countless Mason engineering and computer science graduates. And VSE\u2019s relationships with government and industry leaders \u2013 many of whom are alumni \u2013 make this pathway even more streamlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-internships\">Internships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division is a top employer of UMW students pursuing careers in mathematics, computer science, physics, and engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"umw_cb_additional_links":[[]],"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_advisory_expires_time":"","_advisory_meta_include":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"creator":[5],"class_list":{"0":"post-1350","1":"areas","2":"type-areas","3":"status-publish","5":"department-cas","6":"key-pre-professional","7":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pre-Engineering - Majors, Minors, and Areas of Study<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/study\/areas\/pre-engineering\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pre-Engineering\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The building blocks toward careers in engineering start with related programs at UMW.
