The School of Engineering and Science offers robust programs that prepare students for innovative careers in engineering and science.
The Pre-Engineering program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering principles, preparing them for admission or seamless transfer into any of RMU’s Bachelor of Science engineering programs.
The program is geared to enhance the skills and knowledge for BS engineering program by covering basic engineering, Science, and Math courses along with RMU Gen-Ed courses. The following are the main objectives of the program.

Joshua graduated this May with both a master’s in Engineering Management and bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering thanks to the 4+1 program at RMU.
Now he’s working full-time as a Mechanical Handling Interface Engineer for Westinghouse Electric Company.
Michael graduated this May with a bachelor of science in biology. Now he will be obtaining his masters and doctorate in horticulture and crop sciences at Michigan State University!
Last summer, Michael worked as a plant genomics REU intern at Michigan State.
Ryley graduated from RMU this May with a bachelor of science in engineering. Now, he is working full-time as an Entry Level Software Engineer at Bettis Atomic Power Lab in West Mifflin.
"One of the big things that myself and many of the friends that I made here at RMU contributed to the school was a robotics project. The project has allowed me to come up with ways to go through very challenging situations and I have grown in ways that otherwise would not have been possible without the can-do spirit that the school instills in you.

The undergraduate level certificate program in Epidemiology is designed to give you a strong understanding of the role of science and the environment in the field of public health. Our health and the environment are intertwined, and epidemiology makes a special contribution to environmental health through its focus on entire populations and by its use of descriptive and analytical methodologies. Epidemiologists study the distribution, determinants, and control of diseases and other health conditions in populations.
The undergraduate level certificate program in Nutrition is beneficial for multiple populations and will provide a better sense of the importance of nutrition education. The online program is ideal to reach both traditional and nontraditional students while continuing the growth of technology-based education. Program courses are built on science-based nutrition education to provide a foundation in nutrition and dietetic science. The courses are a blend of nutrition-based courses as well as complimentary courses to enhance the overall understanding of how nutrition relates to science.
