The eight departments and programs within the KU School of Engineering offer numerous undergraduate and advanced degrees in engineering and computer science — including those that focus on bioengineering and bioinformatics. All engineering undergraduate degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, 410-347-7700). The computer science undergraduate degree program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET. The school also offers graduate degrees for the working professional on the KU Edwards Campus in Kansas City, as well as opportunities for continuing education and professional development through the KU Division of Continuing Education.
Freshmen admitted to the school, generally, declare a major through one of the departments and programs listed below when they enroll at KU. Freshmen who are undecided about which engineering bachelor's degree to pursue take a core sequence of courses and the Introduction to Engineering course during their first year and then declare a major.
