Program requirements
The program of study leading to the Master of Science in Engineering Mechanics must include a minimum of 33 semester hours of credit consisting of the following:

1. Twelve semester hours of engineering mechanics: EGM 500, EGM 503, EGM 533 and EGM 546 
   
2. Nine semester hours of electives to be chosen from current course offerings.

3. Six semester hours of mathematics: MTH 535 and MTH 551.
4. Six semester hours of research on an approved thesis or project. Thesis or project research may be replaced by nine hours of additional coursework only with the approval of both the adviser and the program director.

Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade of B (3.0 of a possible 4.0) with no more than two semester hours of of C (2.0) permitted.

Admission requirements
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree from an accredited program in engineering, physics, chemistry, applied mathematics or other appropriate program of study. Applicants with a different undergraduate degree may be required to complete prerequisites.

Applicants should have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. In some cases, applicants with a GPA below 3.0 may be admitted on a conditional basis.
