Deadline for Applications

MEng application deadlines: 

• Spring 2026: March 1, 2026
• Fall 2026: August 15, 2026
• Winter 2027: December 1, 2026

A final oral exam is required for all degrees. The M.S. degree is normally completed in 2-3 years of full-time study or in four years for part-time study. M.S. students intending to continue for a Ph.D. are encouraged to pursue the thesis option.

Strengthen your technical credentials with a Master of Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) is a professional, coursework-only degree designed for individuals seeking practical skills and leadership roles in industry. The program does not require a thesis or research project, allowing students to focus on advanced coursework aligned with their professional goals and job-related skill development.

MEng vs. M.S. Degrees

The Master of Science (M.S.) degree is research-oriented and suited for students interested in advanced technical research or pursuing a Ph.D., typically requiring a thesis or research project. In contrast, the MEng is a course-based degree intended for students who want to apply advanced engineering knowledge in industry without completing a thesis. Read more about the difference between an MEng and an MS degree.

Learn about MEng vs M.S.

MEng Degree Requirements

����Ӱ�� State’s MEng program requires 45 credits of advanced coursework, which may include core engineering courses, ethics, technical writing, and elective courses relevant to professional interests. Students typically develop a Program of Study with an advisor during their first term and complete a final portfolio in place of a final oral exam.

Paying for your MEng

MEng students are generally self-funded. While all students may apply for graduate research or teaching assistantships, these opportunities are highly competitive and more commonly awarded to Ph.D. and M.S. students. Additional funding options include scholarships, grants, fellowships, loans, and employer tuition reimbursement programs. Learn more about paying for your MEng degree.

Ph.D. degrees are typically completed within four years subsequent to the completion of the M.S. degree. Students admitted into the Ph.D. program must pass a qualifying exam and must demonstrate a capability to undertake independent research in order to advance to candidacy as a full Ph.D. student.

A computer science minor can add additional technical skills to a graduate degree. The flexibility of requirements allow students to tailor the interests to the skills they feel are necessary and complementary to their current graduate degree.
