Master of Science in Engineering
A New Graduate Program in Engineering
The University approved a new graduate program leading to a Master's of Science in Engineering on April 10, 2008. We still must have approval by our regional accreditation agency before we can add this program. This will take anywhere from 2 to 5 months. We will have application and additional information about the program on-line here very shortly.
If you have a BS degree in engineering or closely related field and think you may be interested in obtaining an MS degree in engineering, please take our web-based survey located here.
This will help us in planning details. If you know of others who may be interested, please let them know about this survey.
A Short Description of the Proposed Program
The proposed degree program is designed to allow engineering graduates to continue their education beyond the BS degree through the completion of 30 semester credit hours of coursework which may include a research project if the student chooses. The graduate degree program allows flexibility in course topics so that recent graduates and those who have been working in their careers for some time will have the ability to choose classes that are most useful for their future directions. In additition to courses in computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, graduate classes will also be available in computer science and mathematics, as well as classes from the Master's in Business Administration. The program is designed to allow both breadth and depth for the engineering professional. The availability of foundational courses taught at the graduate level will allow engineers to broaden their knowledge of other engineering disciplines and to add areas that may be critical in their careers.
