Master of Science in Engineering


The Master of Science in Engineering is earned upon the successful completion of 30 graduate credits. The actual composition of core and elective credits varies by area of degree emphasis.

The curriculum is continously updated to ensure its relevance to today's industries. All courses are three credits unless otherwise noted. Courses that are cross-listed in more than one section cannot be counted twice.

Degree Requirements

One course must be taken from each of the following areas, found within Section A:
Mathematics 3 credits
Computer Applications 3 credits
Technical Communications 3 credits
Engineering Management 3 credits

Electives:
Three (3) courses must be completed from a single emphasis area, listed in Section B. 9 credits
Remaining credits may be taken from either section B or C. 9 credits
TOTAL CREDITS 30
