The Master of Science in Data Science and Engineering program, offered online, prepares students to pursue careers in data science and engineering, where valuable insights are derived from massive amounts of raw data. Our high‐quality curriculum offers an excellent balance between theory and application, equipping students with foundational skills and state‐of‐the‐art technologies related to the next generation of big data applications.

The MS-CYBE program prepares students for analyzing, developing, investigating, protecting, and defending the cyber ecosystem of organizations. As such, it focuses on the engineering and technical aspects of cybersecurity. The degree is designed to appeal to practitioners as well as research scholars through the requirement of the capstone experience. Students who complete the MS-CYBE degree also receive the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) designation.

The dual Master of Industrial and Systems Engineering/MBA Online is a non-thesis program that allows students who have an interest in both engineering and business to quickly move into management positions in their respective industries, while also increasing their level of industrial and systems engineering knowledge.

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering provides students opportunities to obtain the skills necessary to define, formulate, and solve advanced problems through education and research in the field of mechanical engineering.

The non-thesis Master of Science in Materials Engineering provides students with an advanced level of knowledge in mechanical properties, materials structure, materials thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials.

The non-thesis, interdisciplinary Master of Engineering is tailored to fit each student's specific needs. This customized degree is designed to allow students to complete courses across a variety of engineering disciplines.

The coursework-only Master of Industrial and Systems Engineering is designed for individuals who want to acquire a substantial understanding of industrial engineering methods in a variety of industries including automotive, healthcare, supply chain, manufacturing, and telecommunications. The degree is ranked No. 16 in the nation among the Best Online Master's in Industrial Engineering, according to College Choice.

The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree will equip students with the knowledge and experience needed in diverse industries, from power distribution to biomedical research. Our program is available to online students and supports graduate study in control systems and robotics, digital signal processing, and communications, wireless engineering, electromagnetics modeling and analysis, microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), power systems, digital systems, and computer engineering. The online option of the MS degree recently ranked No. 15 among the Top 25 Best Online Master's in Electrical Engineering Programs, according to TheBestSchools.org for 2018.

The Master of Science in CSSE provides online students an opportunity for advanced learning and creative research. Students will further their education through a balanced program in both instruction and research with the goal of achieving excellence in the field of computer science and software engineering. Online students can choose a non-thesis (courses only) or, with special permission from the department, the thesis option. They will be able to specialize in areas such as artificial intelligence, computer networks, cybersecurity, databases and data science, human/computer interaction, and machine learning.

The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering is oriented toward engineering design and practice. Some of the specialties students will study include surface science, biochemical engineering, catalysis, pulp, and paper engineering, environmental engineering, waste conversion, computer-aided process design and simulation, novel bioseparations systems, and chemical kinetics, and reactor design.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers both a thesis and non-thesis Master of Science, which provide students an opportunity to sharpen their skills in aerospace system design, development, manufacturing, maintenance, and operation. Those who earn the degree will have a competitive advantage among industry and government employers.

The dual Master of Industrial and Systems Engineering/MBA is a non-thesis program that allows students who have an interest in both engineering and business to quickly move into management positions in their respective industry, while also increasing their level of industrial and systems engineering knowledge.

Master of Science (MS) A research proposal and thesis based on original research are major components of the MS degree. The program normally requires 2 – 3 years for completion, and can be tailored for students with interests in forest management, ecology and environmental sciences, economics, engineering, or business.
