Engineering Management, ME EM
The Master of Engineering - Engineering Management degree is a practical graduate degree designed to prepare early and mid-career engineers to manage and lead in 21st century technology-driven organizations. The program provides the most up-to-date concepts and skills in engineering management based on the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge developed by the American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM).
ME EM Admission Requirements
The minimum requirements for regular admission into the Master of Engineering—Engineering Management program are as follows:
- Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering or a related science discipline from an accredited institution
- An undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 in all college level academic work
- Undergraduate course work in engineering economics and statistics
- Two or more years of experience in industrial, civil or government engineering or technical professional position is required.
Students are required to obtain two copies of official transcripts from all academic institutions attended (including UCCS if applicable) as well as three letters of recommendation, submitted by the issuing institution or recommender directly to the EAS Distance Program Office.
Applicants who do not meet the requirements for regular admission may be admitted on a provisional basis subject to the recommendation of the Program Director.
Currently enrolled UCCS undergraduate engineering students with exceptional academic records and previous work experience may qualify for guaranteed early admission to the graduate program—please contact the College for more information.
ME EM General Degree Requirements
The degree program consists of 30 semester hours of course work comprising 21 hours of core courses and 9 hours of specified emphasis courses in Engineering Health or Business. ME EM courses are offered in a distance learning (online) format.
Deviations from the predefined curriculum (including requests for transfer credit) must be approved by the graduate faculty advisor and reflected in the Plan of Study. Course work must be completed with a 3.0 GPA or better, and all course work applied to the program (including any transfer credit) must have been completed no earlier than six years prior to degree completion.
Systems Engineering, ME SyE
The Master of Engineering-Systems Engineering degree is designed for working professionals who design, develop, field, operate and maintain today’s complex engineering systems. The program provides a broad understanding of the roles of a systems engineer and a thorough understanding of process implementation—from needs analysis and system requirements to trade-off studies and system design consistent with guidelines established by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Offered courses stress the system life-cycle approach and the underlying systems engineering process. Other courses offer the quantitative basis for conducting trade studies, computer simulation and risk management.
ME SyE Admission Requirements
The minimum requirements for regular admission into the Master of Engineering—Systems Engineering program are as follows:
- Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or a closely related field from an accredited institution
- An overall undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 in all college level academic work
- Evidence of mathematical maturity equivalent to the completion of the following university-level course work:
- Three semesters of calculus
- At least one semester beyond calculus (advanced calculus or ordinary differential equations)
- Linear algebra
- Probability and statistics
- Two or more years of experience with commercial, civil or government systems engineering practice or a closely related field
Students are required to obtain two copies of official transcripts from all academic institutions attended (including UCCS if applicable) as well as three letters of recommendation, submitted by the issuing institution or recommender directly to the EAS Distance Program Office.
Applicants who do not meet the requirements for regular admission may be admitted on a provisional basis subject to the recommendation of the Program Director.
Currently enrolled UCCS undergraduate engineering students with exceptional academic records and previous work experience may qualify for guaranteed early admission to the graduate program—please contact the College for more information.
ME SyE General Degree Requirements
The degree program consists of 30 semester hours of course work comprising 24 hours of prescribed program courses and 6 hours of electives. ME SYE courses are offered in a distance learning (online) format.
Deviations from the predefined curriculum (including requests for transfer credit) must be approved by the graduate faculty advisor and reflected in the Plan of Study. Course work must be completed with a 3.0 GPA or better, and all course work applied to the program (including any transfer credit) must have been completed no earlier than six years prior to degree completion.
Space Operations ME SO
The Master of Engineering - Space Operations is an applied, non-thesis graduate degree program ideally suited for working professionals involved in military, civil or commercial space operations, payload and mission support, space systems analysis, space systems engineering, and design.
ME SO Admission Requirements
The minimum requirements for regular admission into the Master of Engineering Space Operations program are as follows:
- Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering or a related science discipline from an accredited institution.
- An undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 in all college level academic work attempted.
- Evidence of mathematical maturity equivalent to the completion of the following university level course work:
- One semester of calculus
- One semester of calculus-based Physics
- Linear Algebra
- Two years of experience in a commercial, civil or government engineering/science career field
Students are required to obtain two copies of official transcripts from all academic institutions attended (including UCCS if applicable) as well as three letters of recommendation, submitted by the issuing institution or recommender directly to the EAS College Office.
Applicants who do not meet the requirements for regular admission may be admitted on a provisional basis subject to the recommendation of the Program Director.
Currently enrolled UCCS undergraduate engineering students with exceptional academic records and previous work experience may qualify for guaranteed early admission to the graduate program—please contact the College for more information.
