A degree that works for you
Clarkson’s graduate programs integrate innovative technology to afford a tailored experience, and the Clarkson alumni network connects graduates to career success.
Partnering with industry leaders, Clarkson has developed graduate and professional education programs that drive successful careers. We prepare our engineering graduate students for careers in research, development, design and education. Clarkson offers students the flexibility to take courses in person, online or through a combination of both. Many courses and lectures are available any time, which works with even the busiest schedule.
Extraordinary success for nearly 125 years From Fortune 500 companies to small firms poised to change the world, companies look to Clarkson for new employees. Clarkson students have access to leaders and professional peers who give experienced perspectives on the best jobs in the industry — and help graduates get them. Clarkson graduates become part of a valuable, powerful network of alumni, now more than 44,000 strong, who support each other and help fellow graduates realize their professional goals.
“With working professionals as faculty and professors with close ties to industry, Clarkson offers degrees and certificates that address the needs of industry and students alike.” Hugo Irizarry-Quiñones, PhD Associate Dean, Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering – Capital Region Campus

Leading Innovation, Benefiting Humanity For years, a certain subset of engineers have devoted their insight and expertise to projects that benefit humanity. They defy current trends and use their extraordinary talent to find ways to improve the collective human condition. A Sizable Number of These Visionary Engineers Are Clarkson Graduates. Care to Join Them? Our graduate programs prepare you for tomorrow’s challenges in two distinct ways. First, our curriculum is team-based and interdisciplinary, just like today’s workplace. Since engineers don’t work in isolation, we believe they shouldn’t learn in isolation either. To build entrepreneurial competence and learn how to forge relationships across disciplines, our students have opportunities to do hands-on projects at the intersections of science, engineering, technology, the arts and business. Second, we emphasize innovation in the development of technology that serves humanity. We don’t pursue engineering for the sake of engineering. We encourage students to consider the social consequences of projects by looking at the economics, ethics and environmental impact of every engineering decision. As a professional in the fast-moving world of engineering and innovation, you need to understand the trends and technologies of today as well as tomorrow.
At Clarkson, you’ll learn firsthand from faculty who work and collaborate with industry. Through faculty and alumni, you’ll network with executives from leading engineering firms and corporations to take your career to the next level. A Flexible Curriculum and a Wealth of Options Degree requirements are flexible, allowing you to tailor your course of study to match your interests. Whether you want to explore a particular industry or a specific kind of product, your advisors will help you devise a course strategy to meet your goals. A master’s degree from Clarkson will open doors for you throughout industry and deliver a serious return on investment with a lifetime of opportunities. In the classroom, you’ll network with like-minded classmates with a wide array of career and research backgrounds and interests. Our network of connections throughout the industry gives you access to leaders at companies such as Fluor Corporation, Benét Laboratories, GE Global Research, GE Power, Plug Power, Atlas Copco, BAE Systems, National Grid and Lockheed Martin, as well as at specialty hi-tech industries and startups.
