Master of Science in Engineering Named One of 50 Best Programs
Best Master’s Programs, an online guide to master’s degree programs, has listed the University of Arkansas Master of Science in Engineering program as No. 4 in a list of the 50 best online master’s programs in engineering.
The Master of Science in Engineering program has been offering online degrees since 2009. It is a fully-accredited program taught by graduate faculty from the College of Engineering. This program is designed for students who want to further their education in a variety of engineering topics, and its graduates are well-prepared for a career in engineering and management of engineering systems, processes and organizations.
The Master of Science in Engineering program is open to students with an ABET-accredited bachelor’s degree in any engineering field and incorporates classes from the traditional master of science degrees in biological, chemical, civil, computer systems, electrical, environmental, industrial, mechanical and transportation engineering, as well as operations management.
“This program has been nationally recognized several times, and that is a testament to the hard work of the faculty and staff involved,” said John English, dean of the College of Engineering. “I want to congratulate the program’s director, Ed Pohl. The College of Engineering is proud to offer an affordable and flexible option for engineers from all walks of life to continue their education.”
“The U of A recognizes that having the right infrastructure to support for the innovative faculty in the College of Engineering, in the form of instructional designers, academic technologists and media specialists, is a key component for the success of the program. We continue to invest in learning technologies with the guidance and engagement of the faculty,” said Javier Reyes, vice provost for Distance Education. Reyes leads the U of A’s Global Campus, which supports academic colleges and schools in the development and delivery of online programs and offerings.
