Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (M.S.M.E.)

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering. The degree requires 30 credit hours, consisting of either 10 courses or 8 courses and a master's thesis.

Candidates for graduate studies plan their program in consultation with an adviser. Maximum flexibility in scope of studies is afforded by utilization of courses offered in other departments of the university or other area universities through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan area.

Applicants for graduate programs who hold undergraduate degrees from foreign institutions of higher education must provide, as part of the application process, a degree equivalency evaluation from a reputable credentials evaluation service recognized by The University. This ensures that applications are given full consideration by University officials who may not be familiar with the education program of that specific institution.
