Purdue Engineering Professional Master’s Programs
The engineering master’s programs are designed for early-career engineers, students who have recently completed a bachelor’s degree, and working professionals. They are an attractive option for engineers who want an advanced degree but prefer an alternative to traditional master’s degrees in engineering. Most degrees can be completed within one academic year.
In addition to deepening students’ engineering skills, we provide opportunities to learn, perform and network in a business environment. Upon completing the program, our graduates will be prepared for leadership positions in industry and government on a local, regional, national and international level. All programs incorporate a professional skills or competencies component, such as management, supervision, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Industry research shows that one-third of all engineers are promoted to management positions before having the proper management skills, which puts our master’s program graduates in high demand. Our alumni are equipped with the skills and experience companies need, and they come with Purdue’s established global reputation. Purdue Engineering graduate programs are ranked No. 4 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report (2024, 2023, 2022).
