About the course

The Mechanical Engineering (ME) program at The University of Alabama (UA) offers the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) degree via two routes. Traditional students complete this degree in the main campus setting (MA). In addition to taking classes, students are expected to either complete a research thesis (24 class hours) or pass a comprehensive exam (30 class hours). There is also a distance learning (DL) option that is for students located with the borders of the United States or serving on a U.S. military installation. Note that the distance program involves students taking the same courses, completing the same assignments, and completing assessments via the same exams as the on-campus students. Because each distance course operates synchronously with a corresponding on-campus course, distance students should carefully plan course loads each semester and consider assignment and exam schedules. The non-thesis program is recommended for students pursuing the degree via distance. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
