Master of Science [M.S] [Mechanical Engineering] From University of Louisville

The faculty are also committed to providing professional service to the university and the greater community.

The Masters of Science (M.S.) Degree is the traditional post-bachelors degree, awarded by the Graduate School. The M.S. degree, unlike its M.Eng. counterpart, is not an accredited degree. In fact, there is no agency/entity that provides accreditation for the M.S. or Ph.D. degrees. There are two options for the M.S. degree:

• Thesis Option: 24 course credits at the 500/600 level + 6 credits of ME 690 (M.S. Thesis credit). A minimum of 12 credits (of the 24) must be taken at the 600 level. A maximum of 6 non-ME credits may be taken. This option culminates with a thesis and a successful thesis defense.
• Coursework Option: 30 course credits at the 500/600 level. A minimum of 12 credits (of the 30) must be taken at the 600 level. A maximum of 6 non-ME credits may be taken.

The only course that is required in this program is ME 644, Mechatronics. Other than that, students may tailor their own program.
