Drexel University School of Engineering 80 courses 226-240 total credits
The BSAE/MS program allows students to develop technical depth and breadth in their major and an additional complementary related area, which enhances their professional capabilities in industry, or as they proceed to earn a PhD. A natural progression from the student's undergraduate courses, with the necessary technical prerequisite understanding and skills, prepares students for graduate-level studies. The underlying technical concepts of engineering are common, and so students readily achieve their master's degree in a related discipline in their area of interest.
