Degree Requirements

The Master of Science in Engineering degree is earned upon the successful completion of 30 graduate credits. The actual mix of core and elective credits varies based on the emphasis area you choose. Courses that are cross-listed in more than one section cannot be counted twice.

Degree Requirement Summary

Core Competencies:  12
Technical Emphasis: 9
Electives 9
Total: 30

Core Competencies

One course must be taken from each area for a total of 12 credits. If you plan to takeENGRG 6050 or ENGRG 7070, you may want to refresh your knowledge of integralsand derivatives.
