Master of Engineering

The Professional Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Graduate Certificate in Bioengineering, administered by the Maryland Applied Graduate Engineering office, are world-class, flexible educational programs designed to advance technical knowledge and career opportunities for working professionals and returning students who want to retool their careers. The requirements are entirely course-based, and courses are available on-campus and online for full-time or part-time study.
