Design Track
A total of 30 hours are required for the M.S. degree. At least 18 must be in MCEN courses, or 15 must be in MCEN courses with 6 MCEN thesis hours.
In addition to the coursework for each track, M.S. students are required to take two semesters of Graduate Seminar, MCEN 5027. This class is pass/fail and is attendance based. It does NOT count towards the 30 credit hours required for the degree. Attendance is required at 2/3 of the seminars for a passing grade.
