WWU launches new Master of Engineering program

A master’s of engineering degree (M.Eng.) will be offered by the Edward F. Cross School of Engineering starting in fall 2023.

The one-year program will provide a focus on expanding technical knowledge and preparing for business and project management in the engineering profession. The program will allow current undergraduates the opportunity to obtain a master’s degree and extend their expertise into another discipline with little disruption. The program is also designed to be accessible to working professionals who can attend required in-person classes.

Students will complete coursework in three core areas: engineering specialty, research and design theory, and project management and decision-making. With over 32 elective courses, students will be able to customize their coursework and projects to align with their professional goals. Students with math or sciences backgrounds will also be well-positioned to join the program.

Students in the M.Eng. program will benefit from the 75-year history of excellence in engineering instruction, and an active network of alumni who are professional engineers. The master’s program will build upon the WWU bachelor of engineering program, which has been continually accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology for 50 years.

“As the flagship engineering program in Seventh-day Adventist higher education, offering a graduate program is the next innovative step in preparing professional engineers for leadership in this growing field,” said Pam Cress, associate vice president for graduate studies.

Applications are now open. For more information on the program, visit wallawalla.edu/ meng.
