Virginia Tech College of Engineering

Today, The College of Engineering is the largest academic unit of Virginia Tech and has 14 departments of study.

When the first administrative instructional divisions were established in 1903–04, engineering was one of four academic departments for which a dean was appointed.

Virginia Tech's Master of Information Technology program was created in 2000 to meet needs of students.

The program provides courses that are interdisciplinary, online, and currently has over 420 students enrolled in the United States and several other countries.

[20] In 1969 the university launched new locations within the Virginia Tech National Capital Region (NCR).

The new Campus is a jointly funded effort between the state and the University and its corporate donors, with an estimated cost of 1 billion dollars.

It will have a focus on creating a pipeline for students in graduate degree programs related to computer technology.

Virginia Tech, along with other state schools, has been tasked with increasing its pool of technology graduates.

As of Fall 2019, Virginia Tech has opened applications for its first cohort in the Master of Engineering in Computer Science to begin in spring 2020.

Students have numerous opportunities to meet corporate executives and to network with the college's alumni base, many of whom are renowned engineering leaders.
