Path to Mechanical Engineering Master’s for Non-Majors

The Path to Mechanical Engineering Master’s for Non-Majors at Binghamton University is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in fields other than mechanical engineering, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. This program allows these students to complete core courses necessary for admission into the Master of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering. Core courses include Calculus I and II, Ordinary Differential Equations, and various engineering science courses like Statics and Solid Mechanics, many of which are available online. After fulfilling these prerequisites, students can apply for the MS program, which offers specializations, particularly in design and manufacturing. This pathway not only facilitates a transition into mechanical engineering but also enhances professional skills and networking opportunities. The program is structured to accommodate students who may wish to take courses part-time, especially during summer sessions.
