Engineering Masters Degree

EARN YOUR ENGINEERING MASTERS DEGREE

A masters degree will boost your skills and can improve your marketability for a job as well as enhance your future promotion potential.  Due to COVID-19 selected courses are being offered online while others are traditional face-to-face (F2F).  Depending on the courses you choose, you may be able to take all Fall’20 courses on-line or only travel to campus a few days a week offering more flexibility than normal.  Online vs. F2F offerings in Spring 2021 and beyond will depend on COVID-19 health related conditions and demand for the courses.  In most cases, students who study full-time can complete a non-thesis masters degree in one year.  There are two major degree options as described below.  In addition, students can take one or more advanced engineering courses as a non-degree student or pursue a 12-credit graduate certificate in Composite Materials and Structures[1].

  • If you are interested in furthering both your engineering knowledge and gaining valuable business skills, consider a Professional Science Masters in Engineering and Business (PSMEB). This is 30 credits total and consists of the course mix listed below.  At least 12 credits must be 500-level and above. Courses must be selected in consultation with the student’s assigned graduate advisor.
    • GEE 586[3] Advanced Project Management (100% online – Fall 2020)
    • 12 credits of advanced engineering courses
    • 9 credits of business courses selected from these courses
      • ACC 400 Introduction to Accounting (100% online – Summer 2021)
      • MBA 601 Data Analysis for Business (100% online – Fall 2020)
      • MBA 620 Law, Business and Society (100% online – Spring 2021)
      • MBA 626 Management of Contemporary Organizations (100% online – Spring 2021)
      • MBA 670 Managerial Marketing (TBD)
    • GEE 694 Professional Science Masters in Engineering and Business Internship (6 credits)

  • Application information
    • Application for graduate school may be found at:
      https://umaine.edu/graduate/apply/application-checklist/
    • MS students apply to the program/department they wish to major in.
    • PSMEB students must selected a home department for their engineering concentration and apply to that department.
    • GRE requirements
      • Requirements to take the GRE depends on the program the student selects, the desired degree, and performance as an undergraduate. Contact the graduate coordinator in your major/home department to see if GRE will be waived for you.   Graduate coordinators are listed below:
