College of Science and Engineering

  • The STEM College

    The College of Science and Engineering is “the STEM college” at Seattle University, with more than a dozen majors spanning the fields of science, health, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. The College is dedicated to preparing students for responsible roles in their chosen professions and to advancing the educational qualifications of practicing professionals. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of liberal education, the College seeks to foster among all Seattle University students an understanding of scientific inquiry and a critical appreciation of technological change, and to inspire them to lifelong intellectual, professional, and human growth.
