Students who want to be challenged can select from more than 140 bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in nearly 60 fields from Rensselaer’s schools.

One of the hallmarks of a Rensselaer education is the opportunity for intellectual partnerships between students and faculty. RPI’s relatively small size enables faculty researchers to work closely with both undergraduate and graduate students in their research initiatives.

And, Rensselaer research programs reach across the campus and beyond, linking together departments, schools, interdisciplinary centers, and stimulating the integration of inquiry, new knowledge, and education.

Students are encouraged to work in interdisciplinary programs that allow them to combine scholarly work from several departments or schools. The university provides engaging, interactive learning environments, and campus-wide opportunities for leadership, communication, and creativity.

Over nearly two centuries, Rensselaer has maintained its reputation for providing an undergraduate education of undisputed intellectual rigor based on exceptional innovation in the classroom and the laboratory.

The Rensselaer man and the Rensselaer woman have well-earned reputations as problem solvers and doers. They truly fulfill the Institute’s vision and promise — to solve problems, to make a difference, and to change the world.
