Program Description

Do you have a hunger to learn? Don't have time to go back to school full-time to earn your master's degree? We can help.

Cornell University is offering a Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering via distance learning. This program is ideal for you if you've entered the workforce and want to earn your master's degree without taking a break in your employment.

As more and more engineers pursue master's level education, the demand for master's programs is increasing and will rise dramatically in the coming years. Many of those prospective master's degree students are engineers who already have professional jobs, and who want to pursue a professional master's program without leaving their employment. For these mature students, part-time study - often based on distance learning - is a necessity and that's where we come in.
