A Point of Pride

The Bagley College has much to be proud of. MSU and BCoE were named a top 20 institution for total bachelor’s degrees awarded to African Americans by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). The organization also ranked MSU No. 25 in its list of top 50 institutions by total bachelor’s degrees awarded in chemical engineering.

Student competition teams have seen success in recent years. The EcoCAR team, through the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS), recently won several first-place awards in the national Mobility Challenge. The four-year competition included 11 universities competing against each other as they worked to improve different aspects of a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer, including energy efficiency and autonomous vehicle technology.

BCoE now offers more educational opportunities to students through online graduate degree courses in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. These degrees join the numerous other online program offerings the Bagley College delivers. Students can earn a master’s degree in cybersecurity, a master’s in computer science or a Ph.D. in computer science. With these options, students can achieve their academic and professional goals simultaneously with the flexibility of the online graduate programs.

MSU is often recognized as a top institution for militaryconnected students. The Bagley College is proud to honor the university’s military history with a military engineering concentration in the Master of Engineering program. Graduate students can meet their military and engineering goals in this 30-hour program. Along with a core of engineering courses, the program focuses on military electives, project management, engineering statistics and more.

The Bagley College is home to more than 30 endowed faculty members. Here, the future of engineering education and research in various fields is assured through the generosity of the university’s alumni and corporate partners. This commitment to engineering education ensures students receive the best instruction and upholds the Bagley College’s enduring legacy.

“I moved to Mississippi State University eleven years ago because I saw something special among its students, faculty and administration—a supportive, collaborative atmosphere that places learning at the center of the institutional mission,” said Keith. “Our students are prepared to improve the world and human life through their work.”
