Engineering School To Give M.S. Degree

Aspiring engineers will be able to gain a Master of Engineering degree at the University for the first time this fall, Gordon M. Fair '16, Dean of the Graduate School of Engineering, announced yesterday.

The new program at the school will enable students to receive a terminal degree in engineering after two years of study, without having to wait for a doctor's degree, now awarded at the end of three years.

Under this plan, students will have the chance to conduct, "supervised investigations in suitable engineering subjects, while they are completing their formal education in any of four main fields of engineering," Fair stated.
