Description
The Master of Science in Engineering Science program allows the engineer, scientist, or business professional to customize a curriculum to achieve their individual career aspirations. Working with an advisor, students can combine RPI at Work certificates as well as other RPI at Work courses to build a 30-credit hour program. The final course in the program is an integrative project, in which students draw elements from the courses/certificates they completed in their approved program. Upon completion of the integrative project, the student is awarded the Master of Science in Engineering Science degree. The full inventory of approved certificates available for use in the MSES program can be viewed on the RPI at Work web site ( RPI at Work ).
