Welcome to the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences (CECAS) at Clemson University, where innovation meets opportunity. We're excited to help you explore our graduate programs designed to advance your career and research aspirations. Whether you seek to deepen your expertise through specialized coursework or contribute to groundbreaking research alongside our world-class faculty, CECAS provides the resources, mentorship, and collaborative environment to help you thrive. Our flexible pathways accommodate a range of educational backgrounds and professional goals, enabling a customized graduate experience that develops the skills and knowledge to set you apart in today's competitive landscape.
Many programs at Clemson University offer a fast-track option for the Combined Bachelor-to-Graduate Plan, available to currently enrolled seniors. Depending on the individual program offerings, a combined plan may be either a bachelor's-to-master's track or a bachelor's-to-doctoral track, reducing the time required to complete both degrees. Additionally, Clemson University hosts several Ph.D. programs that qualify as "direct entry"; students who already hold a bachelor's degree (from any institution) may apply directly to select doctoral programs with no master's degree prerequisite.
We offer full-time traditional research-based graduate programs along with part-time applied degree programs designed for professionals working in a variety of STEM industries.
Off-campus learning is offered for master's, doctorate, and certificate programs. Traditional in-person opportunities are available at multiple campuses across the state. In addition, Clemson University continues to expand its online-based and hybrid programs.
Each Fall, we offer a two-day recruitment event about Clemson's engineering and science graduate programs. The STEM ALL IN program is a recruitment initiative designed to allow talented students from wide-ranging populations to visit our faculty, staff, and students early in the application process to learn about STEM-related research opportunities at Clemson.
