MA/MS in Engineering Mechanics

The master's program in engineering science and mechanics at Georgia Tech offers advanced coursework for students whose undergraduate majors lie in engineering or the physical sciences. Its focus is on fundamental mechanics and on the scientific principles that underlie engineering practice. Because it admits graduates from more than one kind of background, the program can attract physicists and mathematicians as well as engineers who want a theory-heavy education. Students use the advanced study to build analytical depth that can support technical careers or later doctoral work. Specific degree requirements and available courses are in the Georgia Tech catalog. Applicants should confirm prerequisites and discuss with the program how their prior studies fit the intended course of work.
