The multidisciplinary Master of Engineering degree serves the advanced educational needs of engineers with accredited bachelor's degrees. The majority of these engineers are employed by businesses, industries, and government agencies throughout the Commonwealth.

The Master of Engineering degree is offered in its entirety through off-campus modes of delivery, predominantly through interactive television. The program is limited to engineers who can access interactive classroom sites in Kentucky. This program provides a realistic option for engineers who wish to pursue graduate engineering education but who cannot do so on the main campus. Normally, students complete degree requirements in a part-time status in approximately three or four years. These courses are also available to students in post-baccalaureate status who wish to strengthen their knowledge and skills in a specific area, but who do not wish to pursue an advanced degree.

Students completing the Master of Engineering degree acquire enhanced engineering analysis and science skills, enabling them to better understand and predict the performance of engineered systems and components.

They also are able to more effectively understand and utilize research on engineered systems and on phenomena integral to such systems. Graduates are in a position to contribute to the enhanced competitiveness of business and industry, and to solve problems impacting the quality of life within the Commonwealth.

All guidelines and policies of the University of Kentucky Graduate School are applicable to the Master of Engineering program, including admission requirements. Graduate tuition is charged for all course work, including those taken in post-baccalaureate status.

Extended-campus graduate program sites are located throughout the state.
