- Fast-paced, 2-semester, 30 credit program (for students with relevant undergraduate coursework and/or professional backgrounds)
- Professionally focused, flexible curricula that can be tailored to you
- Outstanding campus environment with access to a wide range of athletic, recreational, and extracurricular facilities and programs
MEng degree vs M.S. degree
- The Notre Dame MEng degree offers a practice-oriented education, while a typical M.S. degree emphasizes research.
- The Notre Dame MEng degree can be completed in about half the time required for a typical research-focused M.S. degree.
- The majority of MEng faculty are teaching professors whose primary responsibility involves teaching and mentoring students; faculty in typical M.S. programs are primarily focused on research.
