You’re a young woman seeking freshman admission to college with an affinity for the sciences, mathematics, or engineering. We’re a major research university with the program you’ve been looking for! Our Women in Science and Engineering Program (WISE) combines the vast resources of a major university with the close bonds and support of a small community of like-minded students and faculty. As a part of the WISE College Program, you’ll work closely with your peers and faculty, forming friendships and achieving a solid background in your chosen field.
