Welcome to Applied Engineering Sciences
Applied Engineering Sciences (AES) at Michigan State University is a unique interdisciplinary program that combines the technical strengths of engineering with the savvy expertise of business. The resulting blend creates technically sound and business-bound graduates who are ready to tackle the complex problems of an ever-changing world.
AES has one of the highest placement rates in the university. It develops undergraduates through six concentrations: business analytics with data science minor, business law, computer science, packaging, supply chain management or technical sales. Students leave MSU with a strong understanding of the interplay between engineering and business and prepared for positions in both or either discipline.

The College of Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Engineering Sciences.
This program provides a broad foundation in the engineering sciences and core engineering disciplines and their application to one of the required concentrations in Computer Science, Supply Chain Management, Technical Sales, Packaging, Business Law or Business Analytics with a Data Science Minor. Building on a foundation of calculus, chemistry, physics, biology, business, and engineering science courses, the program then permits the student to select additional coursework in one of six concentration areas:
- Supply Chain Management
- Packaging
- Technical Sales
- Business Analytics with Data Science minor
- Computer Science
- Business Law (appropriate for students intending to apply to law school)
The core studies in Applied Engineering Sciences integrate:
- studies in mathematics, statistics, and basic science,
- cross-cutting studies in multiple engineering disciplines
- classes in the Broad College of Business (MSU) in business fundamentals and management, and
- foundational courses in systems analysis and systems modeling.
The Society of Applied Engineering Sciences (SAES) student group has been an important component and complement to the program, with their programming activities and recruiting efforts.
