Master of Engineering Program URL: http://www.uic.edu/eng/meng/ Campus: Chicago Number of Required Campus Visits: 0
Program Type: Master's Degree Award Conferred: Master of Engineering Admission Deadline: Fall: July 1 | Spring: November 1 Description:
The UIC College of Engineering has developed a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree program offered worldwide on the internet. The MEng is a professional degree based entirely on course work, without a research component. The program is administered directly by the UIC College of Engineering. This program has been approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. In Illinois, in the United States, and in the rest of the world there exists a vast population of adults who already have a university education at the bachelor level and who would like to expand and update their knowledge by taking additional course work at the graduate level resulting, in many cases, in a master`s degree. Up to now, many of these potential students have been unable to realize their educational dreams because they reside in a geographical area remote from a research university campus, or because of work or family obligations that do not allow them to pursue their educational goals in a synchronous classroom environment, or because of disability. Admission Requirement(s): Entering students must have received a baccalaureate or equivalent degree in an appropriate field of engineering or in a closely related field (such as computer science, mathematics, or physics) from a recognized institution of higher learning. A cumulative grade-point-average of at least 4.00 (A=5.00) for the final sixty semester hours (ninety quarter hours) of undergraduate study is required for admission to the MEng program. Applicants who do not meet the admission qualifications, but whose professional experience in engineering might otherwise qualify them for entry into the program, may petition the Governing Committee for special consideration. The Governing Committee bases its admission decisions upon the academic and professional background of the applicant as well as on competitive and programmatic factors; thus, the satisfaction of minimum criteria does not guarantee admission to the program. All admission decisions by the Governing Committee are final. Each admitted student is assigned an advisor, who is a member of the College faculty.
Students whose native language is not English must demonstrate fluency in written and spoken English by passing either the TOEFL exam with a score of at least 213 on the computerized test (550 on the old TOEFL test), or a comparable examination deemed acceptable by the Governing Committee.
All students in the MEng program are required to complete the following 2 courses: Engineering Law (4 credit hours) and Engineering Management (4 credit hours). All students must also complete the minimum 36 semester hours of graduate coursework with a 4.00/5.00 GPA.
