MA/MS in Mechanical Engineering

The Master of Science in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering can be earned through an essay route or an all-course route. The essay route combines coursework with research and a written master's essay, including optional co-op placements arranged with companies. The all-course route replaces the essay with additional courses. Master's students may choose up to two specialized tracks, recognized by a departmental certificate of track completion at graduation. As a graduate degree at Johns Hopkins University, it is intended for students who want advanced professional or research preparation, and the requirements are planned with faculty or advisors who approve each student's course of study. Applicants should review the catalogue entry and the program pages for current course lists, admission materials and policy updates before applying.
