Degree ProgramsMaster of Science or Master of Science in Engineering
In addition to the specific requirements listed below, see the Master's Degrees and Doctoral Degrees sections of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Master of Science or Master of Science in EngineeringAdmission: Applicants must submit a complete application, transcripts of all previous academic records, and Graduate Record Examination scores. TOEFL or MELAB scores are required of international students. They must meet the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering (naval architecture and marine engineering) at this campus, or the essential equivalent to these requirements. Applicants who do not have an undergraduate degree in naval architecture and marine engineering may need to take prerequisite courses in addition to the thirty hours required for the master's degree. Minimum Number of Credits Required: 30 credit hours. Specific Course Requirements: At least 18 hours of graduate-level NAME courses, including NA 500 and two of the five core courses (NA 510, NA 520, NA 540, NA 570, and NA 580). Six hours could be a Master's thesis; one mathematics course; and two graduate-level cognate courses in a department other than Naval Architecture or Marine Engineering. A formal master's thesis is expected for the M.S. degree. Foreign Language Requirements: None. Work Experience Requirement: None. Thesis or Research Essay: Master's thesis is optional for M.S.E. degree and required for M.S. degree. Final Examination: None.
Naval Architect or Marine EngineerFor general Graduate School requirements for the special advanced degree Naval Architect or Marine Engineer, see the Professional Engineer Degree section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
Doctor of PhilosophyAdmission: Applicants should have completed an M.S.E. or equivalent degree. The Graduate Record Examination and transcripts of all previous academic records is required of all applicants. TOEFL or MELAB scores are required of international students. Range of Enrollment: A minimum of one year beyond the master's degree in course work. Specific Course Requirements: None. Qualifying Examination: Written exams in mathematics, plus three areas selected from structures, hydrodynamics, rigid body dynamics, coastal engineering, linear algebra, optimization, and numerical methods; oral exam in student's area of study. Foreign Language Requirements: None. Work Experience Requirement: None. Preliminary Exams: Two examinations, the first, a written exam on engineering fundamentals pertinent to study in this department, and the second, an oral examination on the candidate's major specialty, normally the area of the dissertation. Students entering the program with a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering must take the first examination within two years; students entering with a master's degree must take the first examination within one year of their enrollment in the doctoral program. The second examination, which covers the candidate's specialty, should be completed within one year of the first examination. Dissertation Prospectus: Required. Candidate Status: Upon completion of the preliminary examinations and approval of the prospectus, the student will be admitted to candidacy and a doctoral committee will be formed. For information on the dissertation committee, final oral examination, and publication of dissertation, see the Graduate Student Handbook.
Rackham Joint Degree ProgramA joint degree program with the Graduate School of Business Administration enables qualified persons to pursue concurrent work in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and Business Administration, leading to the M.S.E. and M.B.A. degrees. Degree Requirements: the 31.5-credit M.B.A. core, 13.5 elective hours in Business Administration, 18 hours of graduate level Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering courses, to include NA 500 and two of the five core courses (NA 510, NA 520, NA 540, NA 570, and NA 580) one mathematics course elective hours to complete the 30 credit hour minimum for the M.S.E. with the approval of the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering advisors. Students interested in the M.S.E./M.B.A. dual program must apply and be admitted to both schools. Further information is available from the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. A dual degree program with the College of Engineering is offered to pursue concurrent work in Naval Architecture and marine Engineering, leading to the M.S.E. and M.Eng. degrees. Students interested in the M.S.E./M.Eng. dual program must apply and be admitted to both schools. The degrees are simultaneously conferred. Further information is available from the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, and see the Dual Degree Programs section of the Graduate Student Handbook. |
