Our undergraduate programs build on a strong liberal arts foundation to prepare you for a successful career and our graduate programs put theory into practice.

    The College of Engineering and Business also plays a pivotal role in the economic health of our region. Our world-class faculty are passionate about their fields, and are committed to mentoring students into well-rounded, creative problem solvers who are prepared to face the challenges of today and tomorrow's complex technological and business environments. Our faculty and students work in partnership with the Small Business Development Center, the Beehive Network, and the Erie Technology Incubator to develop research and consulting opportunities for our students.
