The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS) at UCLA is proud to announce its newly approved Master of Science (M.S.) degree, with the diploma designation “Master of Science in Engineering”, to be delivered OnLine. The primary purpose of this new Program is to enable employed engineers and computer scientists to enhance their technical education beyond the Bachelor of Science level and to enhance their value to the technical organizations in which they are employed. The training and education that the proposed Master of Science in Engineering Program offers are of significant importance and usefulness to engineers, their employers, and to California and the nation. It is at the M.S. level that the engineer has the opportunity to learn a specialization in depth. It is at the M.S. level that those engineers with advanced degrees may also renew and update their knowledge of the technology advances that occur, and have been occurring, at a rapid rate.

This Master of Science program is addressed to those highly-qualified employed engineers who, for various reasons, do not attend the on-campus M.S. programs, and who are keenly interested in maintaining up-to-date knowledge of “cutting-edge” engineering and technology.

Each student's transcript will list courses by department name and course number, in the same manner as they are for the on-campus programs. The transcript's degree designation will read "Master of Science in Engineering" and, because of equivalency, there will be no mention of "online."
