Overview

About this Degree

The master degree in Engineering offered by the University of Georgia provides the opportunity for both disciplinary depth through specific areas of emphasis as well as broad training in science and engineering that leverages that depth, oriented to solving complex problems that transcend specialized engineering disciplines or fields.

Discipline-specific M.S. and Emphasis Area programs will require completion of a set of specific courses detailed by each program. These courses may increase the total number of semester hours required for program completion.

All coursework is selected in coordination with the Student’s Faculty Advisor and approved by the student’s Advisory Committee on the Program of Study. To receive the M.S. degree, each student is required to present a satisfactory research proposal approved by the student’s advisory committee and the graduate coordinator and pass a final examination and defense of the research thesis.
