Overview

Key Facts

The coursework-focused Mechanical Engineering program of the University of Colorado at Boulder emphasizes both project-based and curriculum-driven learning. It is targeted at working engineers and undergraduates considering, or already pursuing, a career in industry, but can also be completed with the ultimate goal of matriculating in a PhD program.

A thesis is not required to earn this degree. 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.
