Academics

Our students tackle the problems that have yet to be solved. To find answers, they conduct research with top-tier faculty, engineer solutions in state-of-the-art facilities, and build devices to address society’s greatest challenges. On our campus, you’ll discover an inspiring culture focused on student success in the classroom, the lab, and beyond.

Engineer Your Future

At the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, we are scientists, engineers, and above all, global-problem solvers.

Here, you’ll bond with students and professors over everything from quantum technology to immunoengineering to the intersection of arts, sciences, and engineering.
