Earn a patent, start a business, conduct research — as an undergraduate.

Our College of Engineering stands out from other universities. We are one of only eight programs in the U.S. that requires co-ops for engineering science undergraduates. Our students graduate with a year’s worth of paid industry experience. Many find jobs before they graduate.

All of our bachelor's degrees are accredited by ABET. We also offer traditional engineering master’s degree and Ph.D. programs, as well as graduate certificates and a part-time online master’s program for working professionals.

At UToledo, you’re directly admitted to your engineering major. No weeding out. No pre-engineering. You’ll start engineering classes and design work your freshman year. Our focus is on experiential education and entrepreneurship. We prepare you to be a practicing engineer and leader in the field.

Meet Stephanie Hill

"I always loved to build things, and after I learned about the different majors offered at UToledo during my tour of the engineering college, I was able to decide that Construction Engineering was right for me. I applied to a lot of other colleges just to see what else was out there, but The University of Toledo just felt right. The University of Toledo also helped to prepare me not only with the knowledge to calculate specific formulas, but also to do well in the workforce.”

Meet Jalane and her brothers, Robera and Roba

"CISP provides so many resources starting with Orientation Week. It also felt so good to be welcomed into homes as part of the Toledo International Hospitality Program, which matches international students with families from the community. I was connected to two families and still stay in contact with them now four years later. One of the women had actually adopted a child from Ethiopia and cooked Ethiopian food for me."

Class of 2021, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering

“If I had limited myself to what I was familiar with, I would have never applied for a research internship at Oak Ridge National Lab, or planned to pursue a Ph.D., or even attended UToledo. The decisions that took me beyond my comfort zone turned out to be the most important.”
