Professional Masters in Mechanical Engineering

This full-time on-campus program from Purdue Mechanical Engineering blends 21 credits of technical specialties with 9 credits of management and/or professional development classes.  It's perfect for:

• current undergrads who want a graduate degree, but still want to jump into industry quickly;
• domestic and international students who want an engineering degree that is more practice-oriented;
• busy professionals, who want specialized expertise to advance in their careers.

Completion of the Professional Master's Program typically takes one calendar year -- fall, spring, and summer semesters (longer if you choose to take it part-time).  While this is an on-campus program, up to 25% of your classes can be completed in a distance format, when available.  Graduates receive an MSME (Master's of Science in Mechanical Engineering).  No thesis is involved, and it does not provide a path to a doctoral degree.  Students are ineligible for teaching/research assistantships or fellowships.
