Curriculum

The best and brightest students must be engaged with a creative curriculum. Rensselaer continually reviews and strengthens its curriculum to raise the bar for student achievement and respond to the challenges and opportunities of life in the 21st century.

We must seek new connections and build new bridges across the sciences, technology, and the arts so that our graduates will be prepared to think, to plan, to consider in context, to discern ethical implications, and to lead.

Rensselaer's revolutionary model for education, based on Interactive Learning-which earned the first Pew Charitable Trust Award for the Renewal of Undergraduate Education and the first Boeing outstanding Educator Award, among others-has been talked about, honored, and emulated.
