Mechanical Engineering - Master of Science (MS)

The Master of Science Thesis is a degree program that is well suited for students pursuing a career in academia or industry with a research component. MS Thesis students choose from focus areas in air quality, biomedical, design, energy and environment, materials, mechanics of materials, microsystems, and robotics/control. With support from the research advisor, students in this program have the option of smoothly transitioning into the PhD program. 

If a student plans to earn a master's degree and then immediately continue on to a PhD, they can apply directly to the PhD program; it is not necessary to earn a master's degree separately.
