Program Plans

Plans will be customized for each student. Part time options are available.
MSE Program requires 33 approved credit hours at the 5xx or 6xx level with GPA 3.0 or better
No more than 3 courses at the 5xx level may be counted towards the MSE degree
One 6xx course outside of EGR may be taken with GPD approval
Students must earn B or better grade in any undergraduate prereq courses in their program plan
Graduate tuition rates vary by program and can be found here.

Choices for MSE culminating experience:

EGR 695 Master's Thesis (6 cr; taken over at least 2 semesters)
EGR 693 Master's Project (6 cr; taken over at least 2 semesters; company sponsored)
EGR 686 Capstone Design Project (3 cr; single semester)
