The Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) program is 设计ed to strengthen students' technical, 分析, and professional breadth and depth. All students receiving an MSE degree will complete a set of core courses that covers the broader subjects of re搜索 and analysis. Students are allowed admission to the MSE program after completing their bachelor's degree. Traditional MSE students may qualify for a graduate assistantship, which provides tuition and a living stipend.

“The small class sizes were one of the things that liked about Pacific. I transferred here from a community college over in Pittsburgh, near Antioch, CA. So, I really appreciated the small classes and really getting to know your professor. And one of the things I found out here is that your professor is a lot of times your advisor which actually makes a big difference because professors know the ins and outs and what courses are actually needed before you can take other courses.”

研究生s of the Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) degree program will be prepared to demonstrate:

  • A broad understanding of problem-solving, 设计, and re搜索 skills necessary to operate in the interdisciplinary arena of engineering and computer science 
  • Sufficient depth in an area to be able to 设计 complex systems or pursue a more advanced degree
  • Skills necessary to engage in lifelong careers as practicing professional engineers or computer scientists

Students may complete the requirements for the MSE program following one of two degree plans: thesis or non-thesis plans, each requiring a minimum number of 30 units. The thesis plan will require students to perform independent re搜索 and will culminate in the completion of a thesis based on the findings of the re搜索. The thesis plan is intended for students who plan to pursue a career in re搜索 or a PhD.

Students may complete the requirements for the MSE program following one of two degree plans: thesis or non-thesis plans, each requiring a minimum number of 30 units.

The non-thesis plan requirements may be completed following one of two options:

  1. 项目: Primarily intended for students concurrently employed. MSE students who are concurrently employed in a technical capacity may work with their faculty advisor and worksite supervisor to develop a proposal for a worksite project. The project should be complementary to their MSE curricular plans. It will presumably be a project which is of value to their employer. The assumption is that the student/employee will do this project as a part of their regular employment, receiving normal pay; but this is not required by the university. Upon completion of the project, the student will submit a paper documenting the project.
  2. 课程: Students can satisfy the entire 30 units through coursework. This allows students to take two additional courses, increasing their technical breadth and depth. All students will complete a set of core courses that covers the broader subjects of re搜索 and analysis in addition to courses specific to their chosen concentration.

学费是多少??

回顾我们的 研究生学杂费 信息.

How can I find out if I qualify for financial aid?

By contacting the Office of 金融援助.  That office can be reached at 209.946.2421. All students interested in the MSE program are encouraged to check with the Office of 金融援助 to see if they are eligible for aid.  Students interested in the blended program should also check prior to submitting their program application to see what effect the blended program may have on undergraduate financial aid packages.

What time of day are the classes scheduled for?

Classes are offered both daytime and evening.

有夜校吗?

Yes, we will try to offer at least two early evening classes per semester. We cannot, however, guarantee to offer the entire program through night classes.

What concentrations does the MSE offer?

The MSE offers four concentrations: 土木工程 (Environmental and Structural), Computer/电气工程, 机械工程, 工程管理.

When do you need to apply in order to be considered for this program?

The MSE has a rolling deadline, which means we take applications year round; however, some scholarships and assistantships are awarded as appropriate students are accepted; so there is some advantage to submitting your application as soon as possible.

What are the requirements for international applicants?

The minimum requirements are: GRE + Verbal & Quantitative = 300 and Analytical = 3.0gpa = 3.0TOEFL minimum scores = Computer-based 213, 基于互联网的= 79-80, Paper-based = 550TOEFL scores can be no older than two years old. GRE scores can be no older than five years old. Letters of Recommendation can be no older than one year old. Supporting Bank Documentation can be no older than six months.

How do I sign up for the GRE's?

There are two ways of taking the GRE: the computer-based and the paper-based.

  1. Computer-based exams are scheduled appointments any day of the week (with the usual exceptions), but are only offered at specific testing centers. The closest to our campus is in Fair Oaks, which is near Sacramento.
  2. Paper-based systems are offered in batches - much like the FE exam, SAT, etc. These are offered in a much wider variety of locations, but only on specific (yet frequent) dates. 更多的 info and sign up 信息.

What is a 研究生 Assistantship?

The primary purpose of a 研究生 Assistantship (GA, either Teaching or 研究) is to help talented graduate students engage in full-time graduate study for at least a year in their MSE degree. GAs support the School of Engineering and 计算机科学 in a variety of ways by assuming the following types of responsibilities: Teaching laboratory courses, providing technical and staff support, working on special School or Departmental projects, and supporting faculty in their re搜索 and teaching. Specific responsibilities are defined in semester by semester work plans that are developed collaboratively by each GA with his or her faculty or administrative supervisor.

How many units can students transfer in from other colleges or universities?

Students may transfer in a maximum of 6 units with the approval of the Program Director and Concentration Chair.

什么是混合MSE?

The blended MS in Engineering program is an accelerated path for students in a SOECS-undergraduate program to begin taking graduate courses as they complete their undergraduate degree requirements. 应用, students must have Junior or Senior class standing by the term for which they apply, and must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0被考虑.

金融援助

Students interested in the blended program should be aware of financial aid rules that may affect their financial aid packages.

下一步该怎么做

  1. Attend an MSE info session — These are great opportunities to learn about the program and to get your questions answered. You can find the next session on the SOECS活动日历 或者通过联系 Dr. Vivek Pallipuram.
  2. Develop a plan of study with your advisor — Make an appointment with your academic advisor to develop plan of study that includes the graduate courses needed to complete the MSE degree.
  3. 访问 the Office of 金融援助 — Make an appointment to review your plan of study with a financial aid counselor to understand how the blended program might impact your financial aid.
