Degree Programs

The Department offers traditional MS and PhD degrees that emphasize technical skills and research capabilities and an MEng degree that emphasizes practical engineering skills along with business and management practices. In all degree programs, students who enter with undergraduate degrees (BS or equivalent) in other fields of engineering or closely related study (including physics and geosciences) will be required to take at least three courses from a core curriculum that represents each of the major areas of study in the industry; these courses will count as part of the degree requirement.
