The Rowan University College of Science & Mathematics and Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering both hold pride for rejecting the status quo. We continually seek to expand and build upon our programs to strengthen the opportunities available for our students. As Mr. Rowan said, “Satisfaction has always been the enemy of progress.” It’s in that spirit that we’re never satisfied and always aspire to empower the next generation of great scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
“My classes have been great. It doesn’t feel like you’re lost in the shuffle. The teachers really try to get to know you and to understand, ‘What are you interested in?’”
“Being in a neuroscience lab, conducting experiments, working with equipment, and discussing directions to take our research made me realize I want to make a career out of this.”
“I used what I learned in my engineering clinics and applied it to a project I presented at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers conference. I won an award for it!”
“This major provides me with the technical background of an engineer while developing a business mindset. It prepares me for life after college.”
