Graduate Degrees

Chemical Engineering
Masters of Science in Chemical Engineering   M.S.Ch.E. candidates should expect to obtain their degree in about 18 months. M.S.E. students typically require 1 to 1 1/2 years beyond completion of prerequisite courses.		Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering   It should be emphasized that the Ph.D. degree is primarily a research degree, and therefore the research work for a doctoral dissertation should show a high order of originality on the part of the student and must offer an original contribution to the field of engineering science.

Civil and Environmental Engineering
Master of Science in Civil Engineering   There are four major areas of interest of the faculty and graduate studies.		Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering   The doctor of philosophy degree is administered through the College’s interdisciplinary program; civil engineering may be the major.

Industrial and Management Systems Engineering
Master of Science in Engineering   The M.S. Engineering program is designed for students having a baccalaureate degree in a technical field other than industrial engineering who wish to pursue a broader, more interdisciplinary program of graduate studies.		Master of Science in Industrial Engineering   The M.S. industrial engineering degree program is appropriate for students with a B.S. in industrial engineering or other engineering or technical disciplines.
Master of Science in Industrial Hygiene   The Industrial Hygiene program is designed for students with undergraduate training in the areas of engineering, chemistry, biology, medical sciences, animal sciences, or the physical sciences who have an interest in occupational and environmental health and safety.		Master of Science in Safety Management   The safety management degree program is designed for students trained in the areas of business and economic sciences, animal sciences, chemical and biological sciences, engineering and technology sciences, medical sciences, and the physical sciences.
Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering   Each Ph.D. student will develop a program with a major in industrial engineering, or occupational safety and health designed to meet his/her needs and objectives in consultation with an advisor and the advisory and examining committee.		Doctor of Philosophy in Occupational Safety and Health   The Occupational Safety and Health Ph.D. major is to educate and train, to the highest level of competency in teaching and research, men and women as occupational safety and health professionals for industry, government and academia. The program helps students develop competencies to perform independent research in the application of scientific principles to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, control and manage occupational and environmental hazards to working populations of men and women.

Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Master of Science in Computer Science   The Master's Degree program in Computer Science prepares you, the student, to explore a variety of opportunities after graduation.		Master of Science in Electrical Engineering   There are three options available for students to gain a master’s degree: course work only (subject to the student’s advisory and examining committee approval), thesis option, or problem report option.
Master of Science in Software Engineering   The M.S.S.E. degree provides graduate level software engineering expertise to individuals who are currently working in the computer and information technology industry.		Ph.D. Computer Engineering   The doctor of philosophy program should be considered by those with superior academic achievement and who desire to pursue a career of research or teaching.
Ph.D. Computer Science and Information Science   The doctor of philosophy is a research degree rather than a coursework degree.		Ph.D. Electrical Engineering   The doctor of philosophy program should be considered by those with superior academic achievement and who desire to pursue a career of research or teaching.

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering   Students wishing to pursue a program leading to an M.S.A.E. degree are required to have a B.S.A.E. or B.S.M.E. from an accredited ABET curriculum or the equivalent.		Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering   Students wishing to pursue a program leading to an M.S.M.E. degree are required to have a B.S.M.E. or B.S.A.E. from an accredited ABET curriculum or its equivalent.
Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering   To be eligible for admission into the doctor of philosophy degree program, a candidate must hold or expect to receive (by the enrollment date) an B.S. degree in some discipline of engineering from an institution which has an ABET accredited undergraduate

Mining Engineering
Master of Science in Mining Engineering   Students desiring to take courses for graduate credits at the master's level in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources must first apply for admission and state a major field.		Doctor of Philosophy in Mining Engineering   The principal objective of the doctor of philosophy program in Mining Engineering is the education and training of graduates so that they are capable of attaining the highest levels in the Mining Engineering profession and performing the professional roles.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering
Master of Science in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering   A student desiring to take courses for graduate credit at the master's level in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources must first apply for admission and state the major field.		Doctor of Philosophy in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering   A candidate for the degree of doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) must comply with the rules and regulations of the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources and the University.
