Take the Next Steps

One of the best ways to learn about our evening master's degrees in electrical and computer engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, regulatory science, systems engineering or engineering management is to attend an information session. In these sessions, you can learn more about St. Thomas, the different master’s degrees, and the application process and requirements. You will have the opportunity to get your questions answered by School of Engineering faculty and staff.

You can begin your studies in any of our fall, spring or summer* terms so you can apply and start your graduate program right away.

Attend an online information session to get program details. Our programs serve working professionals with busy lives. Set your own pace and start fall, spring or summer. Classes are offered evenings and weekends. We look forward to meeting you.

*Regulatory Science does not have a summer start.
