About the Grad Program
The graduate program in mechanical engineering has over one hundred graduate students. The typical time to obtain an MS degree is approximately two years, whereas a PhD degree usually takes four to five years beyond the BS degree.
We offer two graduate degrees:
MS applicants may opt to pursue the following tracks to receiving their MS degree. These tracks must be determined at the time of application. All tracks are thesis oriented.
