• Working professionals and part-time students will finish their degree at their own pace.

Advantages of the Master in Engineering Degree

• Undergraduate engineering students can extend their studies by one year and obtain both a bachelor’s in engineering and a Master of Engineering degree.
• A Master of Engineering degree enables students to begin their career at an advanced level.
• Those with a Master of Engineering degree stand out in the job market and work place as most engineers only have a bachelor’s degree.
• Salary for engineers with a Master of Engineering degree is typically $20,000 higher than for those engineers with just a bachelor’s degree.
