Graduate degrees in engineering are normally required for those who wish to pursue careers in research or teaching. However, we also recommend that all students achieving a 3.0 grade point average or above in their undergraduate engineering program should pursue, at a minimum, a one year 30 credit professional course work master's degree. Although an undergraduate degree is sufficient for most entry-level engineering positions, the additional breadth and depth provided by the master's degree typically allows graduates to advance to professional-level positions much earlier in their careers.
