Program Description

The Master of Science in Engineering will prepare students to enter professional work requiring advanced knowledge and study in the engineering disciplines represented by the undergraduate engineering programs at A&M-Corpus Christi. Upon completion of the MS-ENGR degree, the graduate will have both a solid education in the fundamentals of engineering as well as specialized knowledge on current topics in the field, and will have developed the skills necessary to maintain knowledge of the current state-of-the-art in engineering, allowing for continuing career advancement.

The proposed MS is designed to operate in conjunction with the five-year BS/MS degree program in engineering at A&M-Corpus Christi, in which students are admitted into the program during their junior year, and then enter directly into the MS-ENGR program upon completion of their senior year, taking dual-credit courses during their senior year which are applied to both degrees (BS and MS). Options will be available for entry of students who have already completed their BS degrees in engineering, either at A&M-Corpus Christi or another institution whose engineering programs are accredited by ABET.

Admission Requirements

• To be admitted to graduate studies, an applicant must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education in the United States (or an equivalent foreign institution). The applicant must show promise of success in graduate studies. Decisions regarding admission to graduate study will be based on a review of all application materials. Factors that may be considered include the student’s grade point average (GPA), the relevancy of previous course work, the applicant’s demonstrated commitment to the field of study, and other criteria identified by the degree program. The overall strength of the record will be used to accept or deny an individual. 
• In order to be considered for a graduate program, a minimum last 60 hour GPA of 2.5 is required. Some programs may have higher GPA requirements; review specific program information elsewhere in this catalog for additional GPA requirements.
