“I was happily surprised with the financial aid package MSOE provided — it was more than any of the public schools that I applied to,” said Collin Seubert, class of 2017.
MSOE also guarantees students will get all the classes needed to graduate in four years, when they need them, if they start and stay on track in their major.
6. Real-world Experience
Most universities talk about offering hands-on work, but few can match the hundreds of hours of laboratory experience students receive at MSOE. In fact, there are more labs on campus than classrooms — and they’re all available to undergraduates. MSOE students can also start internships as early as freshman year and nursing clinicals as early as sophomore year!
7. Expert Professors
Teaching comes first at MSOE. Every class (which averages just 20 students) and lab is taught by seasoned faculty members who have an average of seven years of relevant business or industrial experience in their field. There are no teaching assistants at MSOE.
8. A Place to Fit In
Students have plenty of opportunities to get fit, get involved or just get social. MSOE offers more than 100 academic, professional and social organizations and club and intercollegiate sports.
9. A Place to Grow

And campus is just blocks from Lake Michigan. MSOE was also ranked #1 as the Best College Location in Wisconsin by Niche.com.
