How long is the MS Systems Engineering (MSSE) Degree program?
The MSSE program is structured so that coursework is completed in 6 consecutive semesters: fall-spring-summer-fall-spring-summer, ending with a culminating project that typically takes between a semester and a year to complete.
What type of program is the MSSE Degree program?
The program is cohort-based, so students progress through the curriculum with the same set of peers. This allows students to establish study groups, project teams and domain-centric learning communities.
