The Citadel School of Engineering is one of the five schools comprising The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. The school offers bachelor's and master's degrees as well as graduate certificates in several Engineering specialties. Having been established in 2002, The Citadel later reorganized its existing departments into five schools. [1] Engineering has been a part of The Citadel's educational program since the founding of the school in 1842, and so ranks as the 5th oldest engineering program in the nation. [2] The civil and mechanical engineering programs are housed in Letellier Hall while electrical engineering and engineering leadership are in Grimsley Hall.
