At Princeton, undergraduates can major in Chemical, Civil and Environmental, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical and Aerospace as well as Operations Research and Financial engineering. Princeton Engineering promotes interdisciplinary scholarship by offering the following eight certificate programs so that students can explore outside their major: Applications of Computing, Architecture and Engineering, Engineering and Management Systems, Engineering Biology, Engineering Physics, Geological Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering and Robotics and Intelligent Systems.
Junior civil and environmental engineering students have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad in central Kenya. Computer engineering students can also pursue a certificate in the Program in Information Technology and Society. All engineering students must produce a senior thesis. Princeton hosts five interdisciplinary centers that bridge engineering with educational, environmental, public policy, telecommunications and other issues. Princeton sets no minimum requirements for applicants but they should have challenged themselves to rigorous high school courses including four years of English, mathematics and foreign language and at least two years of laboratory science and history. Princeton does not accept transfer students.

Rutgers' School of Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science degree in the following nine majors: Bioenvironmental, Biomedical, Chemical/Biomedical, Civil and Environmental, Electrical and Computer, Industrial/Systems and Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering as well as Applied Sciences in Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.
Rutgers has a First Year Engineering Program for all freshmen to acclimate them to their undergraduate career that includes both a summer and fall orientation, dedicated living-learning residence halls for engineering undergraduates. Rutgers also coordinates 6-month co-op positions with corporate engineering firms so that undergraduates can network before they enter the workforce.
Rutgers sets no minimum requirements for applicants, but they should have taken 16 academic courses in high school, including four years of English and mathematics as well as one year of chemistry and physics. Those applicants with a non-traditional education can be admitted by examination.

Undergraduates at The College of New Jersey (CNJ) can major in Biomedical, Civil, Electrical and Computer and Mechanical Engineering as well as Engineering Management and Technological Studies. Undergraduates with a minimum SAT score of 1400 for a single test who were within the top 10 percent of their high school class and who completed advanced placement credit for Calculus A and B or General Physics I and II can apply for the joint Engineering/MD program.
Medical degrees earned jointly with either Biomedical Engineering or Engineering Science takes 7 years. Rising high school students can participate in a robotics summer camp sponsored by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering or a summer camp organized by the Department of Civil Engineering during which they attend mini courses and interact with college students and construction industry professionals.
