Program Details
Each program requires 15 units of graduate coursework with a grade of B or better and all courses are available via distance. Each course is the same as offered to residential MS and Ph.D. students, taught by professional faculty members and industry executives.
Upon successful completion of the program, the units may transfer into a Master of Engineering degree. No GRE exam is required for admission to the program. Applicants who do not have a degree from an English-speaking university must complete the TOEFL (or equivalent) to demonstrate proficiency in English.
To transfer the courses into a Master of Engineering degree, a time limit of 6 years applies.
Academic Background
Enrollment is limited to graduates of accredited engineering bachelors program and other cognate degrees (i.e., biology, chemistry, geology, industrial hygiene, physics, MIS, etc.) with a 3.0 GPA or higher. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have the necessary prerequisites completed for the courses in the certificate program. To be admitted to this certificate program, candidates should have two years of progressively responsible professional experience, preferably in a field related to the specific option selected for study.
