Distance Education Program

The Master of Engineering program was created for off-campus students in an effort to bridge the gap that would otherwise deny them access to the wealth of knowledge that exists at NC State University. This degree program is primarily for individuals whose schedule or location does not allow on-campus study. The online courses are the same as the on-campus courses in terms of content, requirements and academic rigor.

Convenience and flexibility are key advantages of this program. Students can take a variety of courses in different engineering fields and in computer science. The Master of Engineering degree, which can be earned totally through the Engineering Online program, is a 30 credit hour degree program that does not require GRE, thesis, final oral exam, or on-campus attendance.

Benefits of the Degree

  • Flexibility (time and location)
  • No need for campus attendance
  • Earn an engineering graduate degree from a well-established and recognized university
  • Enhance your career opportunities
  • Achieve new competencies, broaden your expertise and expand your knowledge
  • Professional Development Hours (PDH)
