Master of Science in Engineering

Across nearly every industry, companies are in need of flexible, forward-thinking engineers whose knowledge spans many disciplines.

Merrimack’s Master of Science in Engineering addresses this growing need by providing a rigorous, multidisciplinary educational experience that is focused on society’s most pressing needs.

Our Master’s in Engineering program, reflecting the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of the practice of engineering, emphasizes a holistic, systems view of the various disciplines in which students may concentrate. 

The program provides students with the flexibility to design academic programs tailored to address crucial societal needs, such as climate change, an aging population, obsolete infrastructure, alternative fuels, green technologies, information systems and technology, and the increasing complexity of those systems. It taps into the significant demands for advanced degrees in some of the fastest growing career areas.
