Milwaukee School of Engineering, known as MSOE, is located in downtown Milwaukee next to both the historic East Town and the Theater District and just a few blocks from Lake Michigan. Student organizations at MSOE fall into one of seven categories: government, Greek, honors societies, professional, religious, service, and special interest. Intramural sports, including football, volleyball, broomball, and dodgeball, are popular activities among students. MSOE’s varsity athletic teams, the Raiders, compete in NCAA Division III sports. The Kern Center athletic facility houses an ice rink, basketball arena, indoor track, fitness center, and field house. Freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus in one of the three coed residence halls. Annual campus traditions include Constitution and Citizenship Week, Raider Week for school spirit, and St. Patrick’s Week.MSOE’s undergraduate bachelor’s programs are divided into six fields: architectural engineering and building construction, business, computer and software engineering and management information systems, engineering, engineering technology, and nursing and health. Within each field, students can choose a more specific concentration such as international business or biomolecular engineering. In addition to undergraduate studies, MSOE has a variety of graduate master’s programs in the business, construction, engineering, and health fields. MSOE also offers study-abroad programs through Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic; Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in Germany; and Manipal Institute of Technology in India.
