We are currently not offering the Master of Engineering program.
The Master of Engineering is a practice oriented, focused degree. It is flexible: the format combines distance learning with on–campus coursework; there is no residency requirement.
The curriculum is personalized to meet your individual interests and career goals. Students may also qualify to transfer up to 6 units (depending on their home institution) from another institution.
This track includes a combination of coursework in engineering, management, and business. It is primarily intended for students with at least 2 years of work experience, whose career path is likely to include a position such as "chief engineer."
The College of Engineering was founded when the University of Arizona opened its doors in 1885. Mining was the bedrock of Arizona’s economy at that time, and educating mining engineers was a top priority – indeed, it still is.
As the state’s economy grew and diversified, the College of Engineering continued to play a pivotal role in providing the research and engineering expertise necessary for that growth.
In today’s competitive environment, graduates of the college are the entrepreneurs developing high-tech companies that are creating jobs and improving our quality of life.
An engineering education will provide the research to build new industries and the knowledge for those who run them.
Students admitted to the Master of Engineering program are expected to have an appropriate academic background for their intended area of study. In general, this means a Bachelor of Science B.S. degree in an appropriate engineering area from an ABET accredited institution, with sufficient engineering and related coursework to begin taking graduate level engineering courses upon admission to the program. However, please note that in certain cases a student with a B.S. in a related field may be admitted into the program on condition of completing a number of prerequisite courses. In addition, a minimum GPA (Grade Point Average) of 3.0 on a 4-point scale is required for admission to the program. This minimum GPA requirement can be based on the last 60 units of coursework leading to the bachelor’s degree. International students must submit TOEFL scores (unless they hold a degree from a university in which English is the primary language of instruction).
In addition we require 3 letters of recommendation, and a Statement of Purpose. TOEFL is required for international students.
For International students: Minimum TOEFL: 79
Minimum IELTS: 7 ( no subject area below 6)
We do not offer financial assistance to students in this program.
