Overview of Graduate Study

Thank you for visiting the Office of Graduate Education in the School of Engineering at Rutgers. All of the academic departments in the School of Engineering have very active graduate programs, awarding the degrees of Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy.

There are over 800 graduate students enrolled in the graduate programs of SoE. Every year over 120 of our students receive M.S/M.Eng. degrees and we award about 70 Ph.D. degrees. The School of Engineering is proud of the quality and reputation of its engineering graduate programs. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in industry, government and academia.

We have over 120 faculty members in residence and active in research on a broad range of topics, from the fundamental to the applied, serving the needs of our state, and country and our world. Our faculty members publish extensively and they are frequently invited worldwide to give seminars and keynote speeches.

The Office of Graduate Education of SoE provides support and guidance to SoE's activities in graduate education and research. We oversee the administration of SoE fellowships, we provide recommendations for new graduate degree programs, coordinate approval of new graduate courses and champion issues affecting individual graduate students. We also create a graduate student community in the School of Engineering.

We would be happy to give you more information on our outstanding graduate programs, our graduate level courses, our research, and our accomplishments. Just let us know. Here is a road map of where to contact:

• If you know which SoE department provides graduate education and conducts research in the area of interest to you, contact that department directly. You can reach a list of the department websites here.
