Milwaukee School of Engineering’s Bridge is now open. Working with 7Summits, a Milwaukee-based social media agency, MSOE developed this online admissions community where prospective students can learn more about the university, fill out an application, monitor their admission progress, and, most importantly, ask questions and interact with their admission counselor, other prospective students and current MSOE students and faculty. The Bridge is the go-to place for high school students who want to become an MSOE Raider.
“The college search for students is about two things, ‘Do you have the major I am looking for?’ and ‘Will I fit in?’” said Dana Grennier, director of admission. “Prospective students can use the Bridge to find others like them and realize that MSOE is the university of their dreams.”
It’s easy to access the Bridge by visiting admissions.msoe.edu. Users can create their own login, or simply log in with their Facebook credentials.
In the past few years it has become increasingly difficult to reach high school students through traditional methods (phone, mail and email). This is why MSOE admission counselors are taking a proactive approach and meeting students where they are comfortable—in an online community.
The university also has launched newly-designed Web pages for the Admissions section of its website. The new design is tailored to high school students and their parents, and offers an easy way to get more information about the business, engineering and nursing degrees offered at MSOE. Those who are interested in learning more about MSOE are encouraged to create an account for the Bridge so they can take advantage of all the available features.
MSOE is an independent university with about 2,500 students. MSOE offers 18 bachelor’s degrees and 10 master’s degrees in the engineering, engineering technology, building and infrastructure engineering, health-related engineering, computer, business and nursing fields. The university has a national academic reputation; longstanding ties to business and industry; dedicated professors with real-world experience; and extremely high placement rates and starting salaries. MSOE graduates are well-rounded, technologically experienced and highly productive professionals and leaders.
