Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Admissions & Cost

Timeline

Students are accepted into the program during the winter of each year and begin their first class in May.  The application process is not difficult, but since acquiring transcripts and the letter of recommendation frequently requires some lead time and each cohort is limited to about 40 students, it is strongly recommended that you start the application process in December or January.  Typically, the cohort is filled by mid-March

Program Cost

All courses cost $750 per credit hour plus an estimated $50 in fees, or approximately $2,300 per course. Textbooks are an additional cost, but instructors have selected books that will be used in more than one course, creating a "library" of references for the future.

Admissions Requirements

The minimum requirements for admissions to the program are:

1. A bachelors degree from an accredited university
   
   

   If you have a degree from a non-US university, please contact the Program Coordinator (Bill Ferrell at fwillia@clemson.edu) so we can verify that it is equivalent to a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in the US before you begin the application process.

2. Relevant industry experience
   
   

   Typically, a minimum of three years of relevant industry experience is required. The reason is our experience suggests that you receive maximum benefit from this program when you have an understanding of the “real world” which provides context for your education.

3. A letter of recommendation
   
   

   This should come from your supervisor or manager that indicates this program fits within your career objectives and that you have exhibited the skills, discipline, desire, and intelligence to succeed in the program.

4. Sufficient mathematical background
   
   

   Typically, this requirement is met by: 1) having passed at least 1 semester of engineering calculus or 2) having passed at least 1 semester of business calculus plus 1 semester of statistics.

Please contact the Program Coordinator (Bill Ferrell at fwillia@clemson.edu) if you have any questions.
