M.S. in Engineering
Program Overview
The Rowan Experience
Our M.S. in Engineering effectively prepares professionals to respond to the changing needs of engineers today. Our students complete higher level coursework in technical topics and develop and demonstrate applied skills in research, teaching, and communication - all of which leads to an advanced engineering degree. Our program provides you with the necessary knowledge, skill set, and training to be leaders in the engineering workforce.
Novel independent research, conducted under the supervision of a faculty mentor, is an option (thesis-track) and will culminate in publication(s) in peer-reviewed scientific journals, presentations at scientific conferences, a thesis, and the potential generation of intellectual property.
You can choose between a thesis and coursework track. You may also work on a project, which can count toward a coursework track degree. Most full-time students work on funded research projects, leading to a thesis. Most part-time students select the coursework track. In order to be eligible for a Teaching or Research Assistantship, students must select the thesis track.
Concentrations:
- Biomedical Engineering (Non-Thesis only)
- No Concentration (Thesis & Non-Thesis)
Curriculum
The M.S. in Engineering program has two tracks:
- Thesis Track: The thesis option requires the completion of 30 semester hours, of which between six and nine are in thesis research/engineering project. If thesis track is selected, students must successfully complete and defend the Master's Thesis.
