* A formal "area-of-specialization" track is offered in Environmental Engineering.

** Optional joint degree (BS/MBA) is also offered.

*** Multidisciplinary Engineering is for students who which to practice engineering, while Interdisciplinary Engineering is for students who want an engineering education, but do not plan on practicing engineering. An example of the former would be Acoustical Engineering, while an example of the latter would be Premedical Engineering Studies.
