- Industrial Engineering (M.Eng., M.S., Ph.D.)
- Mechanical Engineering (M.S., Ph.D.)
- Nuclear Engineering (M.Eng., M.S., Ph.D.)
Degrees are also available in the intercollege graduate degree program in Bioengineering (M.S., Ph.D.). Other related programs include Agricultural and Biological Engineering, housed in the College of Agricultural Sciences, and various programs in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.
All master’s programs require a minimum of 30 graduate credits. The M.S. degree requires the presentation of an acceptable thesis or paper; the M.Eng. degree requires a significant culminating or “capstone” experience as defined by the program of study. The Ph.D. degree is conferred in recognition of high attainment and productive scholarship as evidenced by the completion of a program of advanced study that includes a minimum residency requirement, the preparation and formal acceptance of a thesis involving independent research, and the passing of the comprehensive and final oral examinations.
