**Application fees will be waived for all Vanderbilt School of Engineering Ph.D. applications for admission in Summer/Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. Full refunds will be issued to those who already paid the fee. Also note that GRE scores are not required for these programs.**
Research-oriented Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees are offered through the Graduate School and hosted by the academic departments of the School of Engineering. Cross-disciplinary research areas of expertise can be found here.
The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree is an advanced professional degree awarded by the School of Engineering and especially designed for engineering practitioners who may prefer to work while doing professional study. It is also suitable for individuals who apply directly from undergraduate school -- but the thrust of the program is toward professional practice in engineering rather than research or teaching. Master of Engineering degrees are available in the following disciplines:
