GW’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) aims to be the nation’s top school for graduating women with undergraduate degrees in engineering and computer science.
SEAS is committed to advancing opportunities for women in science and engineering and helping them succeed in school and beyond. SEAS actively recruits women and focuses on retention efforts, mentorship, and training programs. The Clare Boothe Luce Program Undergraduate Research grant is part of our broader effort at SEAS to promote women in engineering.
- SEAS ranked fifth nationally in 2015 for the percentage of bachelor of science degrees that we award to women.
- We currently award more than 41 percent of our undergraduate degrees to women, which is more than twice the national average.
- Women make up more than 20 percent of our faculty, and that percentage is continuing to grow.
- SEAS has an active Society of Women Engineers chapter, opportunities to meet with alumnae mentors, and many informal support opportunities for women engineering students.
